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.

It is a quiet development of six quite different looking, yet sizeable, detached houses and properties offering ground floor accommodation that were built in the 1990's on the grounds of the historically significant Swainsea House that stands prominently at the entrance to the street.
The current owners family commissioned the build and it has been in their ownership since. Marton House stands at the end of Pipers Acre with a Southerly front aspect.
This detached house is most noticeable for its floor to ceiling glazed wall in the middle of the front facade that drenches the dining room and the galleried landing above with light.
The house itself offers accommodation over two floors with a dining kitchen, sitting room, and flamboyant dining room.
The ground floor also has a garden room and a further reception room that has been utilised as a ground floor bedroom with its own en suite bathroom.
Off the kitchen there is also a separate utility room, boot/store room and access to the garage.
Up the turned wooden staircase there are three further double bedrooms with the master having its own walk in closet and en suite bathroom.
There is an additional house bathroom to serve the other two bedrooms. Outside there is a brick set drive offering parking for numerous vehicles and a lawned garden that wraps around the house.
