We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
As you approach the property, you immediately appreciate the expansive lawned front garden, beautifully framed by mature shrubs, plants and seasonal flowers, with a hedge border enhancing privacy.
To the side, a driveway leads under a carport, providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles.
Entrance is via the side of the home into a welcoming hallway, complete with a useful understairs cupboard for storage.
To the left sits the kitchen, thoughtfully arranged in a U-shaped layout to maximise space and functionality.
There are ample wall and base units, space for a fridge, freezer, washing machine and cooker, with the sink positioned beneath a large rear-aspect window overlooking the garden.
Moving through the property, the formal dining room offers an excellent entertaining space and features sliding doors opening directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The staircase to the first floor rises from here.
To the front of the home is the spacious and light-filled living room, boasting a large front-aspect window with delightful views across the front garden.
This room offers a peaceful and secluded feel, complete with a feature fireplace and generous space for living furniture - a perfect spot to relax and watch the seasons change.
To the first floor, a generous U-shaped landing provides access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom, located to the rear, is a well-proportioned double with a built-in storage cupboard and views over the garden and parkland beyond.
A further double bedroom sits to the front, also benefiting from built-in storage, while the third bedroom - positioned to the front - makes an ideal single bedroom, nursery, home office or hobby room.
From the front bedrooms, attractive views of open fields can be enjoyed. The family bathroom is fitted with a shower over bath, WC, hand wash basin, heated towel radiator and tiled walls.
An airing cupboard located just outside the bathroom houses the boiler and provides additional linen storage. Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight.
An initial patio area offers space for seating and outdoor dining, leading onto a well-maintained lawn bordered by established shrubs, plants and flowers that flourish beautifully in the spring and summer months.
Importantly, the generous plot and positioning of the property offer excellent scope to extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions), presenting an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to further enhance and add value to what is already a wonderful family home.
