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
Guide Price £260,000 - £270,000 A solid home with space to grow and scope to transform!
Set back from the road in the highly regarded village of Ackworth, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers spacious accommodation, generous outside space and clear potential for modernisation.
Well maintained yet ready for updating, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to personalise and add value.
With a detached garage, substantial garden building and ample off-street parking, it combines practical features with scope in a sought-after residential location.
A walled frontage with fencing to either side encloses the front garden, where a gated entrance opens onto a pathway leading to the front door, flanked by lawn.
The entrance hall provides access to the staircase and a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, with wood-effect flooring flowing throughout the ground floor.
To the rear sits the compact kitchen, fitted with wood-effect cabinetry, offering a solid base for improvement, and with a rear door providing side access.
The dining room occupies a central position within the home and is open plan to the living room via a wide opening, creating a sociable and versatile reception space.
The living room to the front features a character fireplace, while sliding glass doors from the dining room lead through to a generous conservatory overlooking the garden, with patio doors opening onto the paved seating area.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes along one wall, together with a third smaller bedroom ideal as a nursery, guest room or home office.
These are served by a larger-than-average family bathroom with shower over bath.
Externally, the fully enclosed rear garden includes a paved area directly outside the conservatory, a lawned section to the side, and double gates opening onto a long driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to the detached garage.
A substantial garden building is tucked into the corner, offering excellent additional storage or workshop potential.
Ackworth is a popular village offering a range of everyday amenities including local shops, cafés, public houses and well-regarded schools.
The property is conveniently positioned for access to Pontefract and Wakefield, both providing a broader selection of retail, leisure and dining facilities.
Commuters benefit from excellent transport links, with straightforward access to the A1(M), M62 and wider motorway network, while nearby railway stations offer services to Leeds, Doncaster and surrounding areas.
The combination of village setting, practical amenities and strong connectivity makes this a highly appealing location for families and professionals alike.
