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 spacious and very well presented semi-detached family house which has been considerably extended to provide versatile accommodation in this highly sought after south city location This 5 bedroom semi-detached property has been extensively extended and offers substantial and versatile accommodation with annexe potential should it be desired.
An impressive kitchen/breakfast/dining room with patio doors to garden opens onto the light and airy family room/study which in turn leads onto the 27'2" sitting/dining room.
There is a side lobby/hallway area with its own external door to the side with the second reception room off and a second staircase leading to bedrooms 4 and 5 as well as a shower room.
This area of the property offers great flexibility and would (as stated above) lend itself well to some form of independent annexe area if required.

Externally, there is a generous gravelled driveway to front, useful side area and a beautifully landscaped rear garden with timber-decked patio areas, lawn and garden workshop.
