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
This immaculately presented semi-detached home is ideally located in a small cul-de-sac, enjoying a quiet corner plot close to local amenities.
The bright, spacious and stylish living accommodation throughout comprises of an open-plan kitchen, living, dining area, a generous reception room with log burner, ground floor dual utility and w.c.
And three bedrooms plus a family bathroom. Outside, the property is complete with a west-facing wraparound garden and a Tarmacadam driveway providing parking for two vehicles.
Welcome in… The property is approached via a Tarmacadam driveway bordered by mature rose beds and providing off-road parking for at least two vehicles, whilst a uPVC door with decorative glazed insets welcomes you into the property.
Once inside, the entrance hallway is laid with hardwearing lvt flooring and offers spaces for hanging coats and storing shoes before continuing into the main accomodation.
Where living happens… The main reception is a spacious and inviting space, continuing with the same flooring and with an abundance of light from the dual aspect windows (with a half opaque inset for privacy) and the rear.
A focal point is formed at the centre of the room where a log burner is set upon a slate hearth and has an oak mantle above.
To one side, a well-appointed media wall provides the perfect blend of functionality and display, whilst also housing a television point, and further storage is provided underneath the stairs.
The reception is finished with tasteful panelling to one wall and two pendant lights to keep the room bright in the transition to nighttime.
Continuing through a timber door with glazed inlays, the kitchen-dining-living space unfolds.
There is room for the arrangement of both dining and living furniture and the space is brightly lit by two Velux windows, a window to the rear and a large window to the front, assisting the recess downlights to the ceiling.
Sliding patio doors open to the rear garden presenting the opportunity for indoor-outdoor living.
Look what’s cooking… Fitted with an array of shaker-style, white wall and base units, this kitchen provides much storage and preparation space with wood-effect countertops and a marble-effect, tile splashback.
These units include integrated appliances, beginning with a one-and-a-half bowl, stainless-steel sink unit with drainer to the side, a double eye-level oven and grill, four-point induction hob with extractor above and integrated wine cooler.
These units are also designed for everyday ease with larder storage, pull out shelving and drawers. The kitchen area is finished with space for an American-style refrigerator/freezer and dishwasher.
Underfloor heating warms the whole of this area and continues into the w.c./ utility room, accessed through an oak pocket door.
To one side there is a combined two-in-one wash basin and w.c., whilst kitchen-complementary units offer extra storage, plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.
A Velux window allows light to stream in from above and a uPVC door with opaque glazed inset provides access to the rear garden.
Rising to the first floor, the landing gives way to three, well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
It contains an airing cupboard, the Worcester Bosch Combination boiler and access to the boarded loft via a drop-down ladder.
The master bedroom is a good-sized double room with a large uPVC window to the front, pendant light and both fitted wardrobes and an integrated wardrobe for storage.
The second bedroom is situated to the front of the property and is another good-sized bedroom with a large uPVC window overlooking the front aspect with a pendant light, fitted wardrobes and a radiator.
Bedroom three has space for a double bed but is currently staged with a single bed with wood-effect laminate flooring, a pendant light and window to the rear, as well as a convenient alcove, perfect for storage or a study desk.
Servicing these three bedrooms is a three-piece family bathroom, fully tiled with dark grey tiling to the floor and white to splash plus detailed tiling to dado.
The suite comprises of a walk-in electric shower with surrounding glazed insets, a low flush w.c., pedastal wash hand basin and is finished with an opaque window. No.
56 enjoys a wraparound west-facing garden to the rear, laid firstly to patio with much space for the arrangement of outdoor furniture.
This creates a perfect spot to sit and relax and is finished with outdoor lighting, power and a water tap.
The garden then continues as lawn to both sides whilst, directly to the rear, raised vegetable patches and fruiting bushes are positioned next to two timber storage sheds.
The garden is finished with neat, raised borders edged in sleepers, mature shrubbery and timber fencing.
On your doorstep… Everyday essentials are available in the centre of Eccleston, including Sainsbury’s, three bakeries, a Post Office, Medical Centre, Pharmacy and Café Manna for a quick brew.

Mary’s Church of England), while the highly regarded secondary school of Bishop Rawstorne Church of England Academy in Croston is within easy reach.
