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
Ardbeck, 19 Hillhead Road is a substantial four-bedroom detached villa, occupying a generous and established plot in the Angus village of Monikie.
Built in the 1960s, the property offers an impressive amount of accommodation and, while now requiring a programme of modernisation, has all the ingredients to become a superb long-term family home.
Monikie itself combines a peaceful village setting with convenient access towards Dundee and the Angus coastline, while the village has its own primary school and the popular Monikie Country Park provides extensive woodland, walking trails and outdoor activities close by.
Inside, the scale of the accommodation becomes immediately apparent.
At the heart of the ground floor is an exceptionally generous dual-aspect living room, extending to over nine metres in length and enjoying plenty of natural light.
There is ample space here to create distinct sitting and family areas, while a separate dining room to the rear provides further flexibility for entertaining.
The kitchen is also well proportioned, with space for informal dining, and offers clear potential for a stylish redesign. The layout lends itself particularly well to family life.
A double bedroom on the ground floor provides useful flexibility for guests or multigenerational living, while the family bathroom and separate WC add practicality.
Upstairs are three further double bedrooms, several with fitted storage, together with an additional WC.
The spacious upper landing is another interesting feature of the home and could readily accommodate a study or reading area alongside the bedroom accommodation.
Outside is where the home really comes into its own.
A broad private driveway provides generous off-street parking and leads to the double garage, while mature planting gives the property an established, private feel.
To the rear lies a particularly generous garden, predominantly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and hedging.
The size and privacy of the plot create a wonderful setting for family life, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, play and further landscaping.
Although the property would benefit from comprehensive updating - its generous footprint, flexible layout and substantial gardens provide an excellent opportunity to create a special family home.
