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
Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane in the heart of Prestbury village, Merryfield is a well-presented home offering predominantly single storey accommodation with a small number of internal steps that create a gentle division between the main living areas and the bedroom wings.
The layout is practical and well balanced, with all rooms leading from a large impressive reception room.
The kitchen breakfast room is positioned at the rear of the house with glazed doors that open onto the patio and the west facing garden.
Adjacent to the kitchen, also enjoying the view of the garden, is a formal dining room which connects directly with the sitting room.
The sitting room is a generous and comfortable space with a dual aspect and doors to the garden, providing an excellent area for both relaxing and entertaining.
A separate utility room is located just off the kitchen. A study sits close to the principal suite and provides an ideal space for home working.
The principal bedroom enjoys a spacious en suite that includes a private sauna.
The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room, while bedrooms three and four are served by a separate family bathroom.
Wrapping around the bungalow, the garden is manageable in size, predominantly west facing and enclosed by beautiful mature trees which provide a good degree of privacy.
