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
A well-proportioned and versatile semi-detached chalet-style home situated in the sought-after Fairlands area of Guildford and offered to the market with no onward chain.
Providing flexible accommodation across two floors, the property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and create a home tailored to their own taste and requirements.
The property benefits from a generous frontage with driveway parking, an attached garage, and a private rear garden.
The accommodation is approached via an enclosed entrance porch which opens into a spacious reception hall, currently arranged as a study and offering excellent flexibility for a variety of uses including home working, reading or additional sitting space.
To the front of the property is a generously proportioned sitting room, while to the rear the dining room enjoys views over the garden and connects to the kitchen, which in turn opens into a breakfast area.
A garden room provides additional reception space and direct access to the rear garden. The ground floor is further complemented by a shower room and separate cloakroom.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both offering good proportions and natural light.
The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, while the second bedroom benefits from an adjoining shower room. Access to useful eaves storage is also available from the first-floor landing.
Outside, the rear garden offers a good degree of privacy and is mainly laid to lawn with mature planting and a timber garden shed.
The attached garage is complemented by a useful store room to the rear, while the driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles.
The property extends to approximately 1,391 sq ft in total, including the garage and store, offering well-balanced accommodation with scope for further enhancement, subject to planning permission.
Located within the popular village-style community of Fairlands, the property enjoys convenient access to local shops, schools, recreational facilities and regular bus services to Guildford town centre, with its extensive shopping, leisure amenities and mainline railway station offering services to London Waterloo.
