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 substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home offers beautifully arranged accommodation over three floors, combining generous proportions with a warm and inviting atmosphere, all located less than half a mile from St Albans City Station.
The front door to this attractive property opens into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, complete with a convenient guest WC.
From here, two impressive reception rooms provide excellent living and entertaining space.
The principal living room is particularly charming, featuring a handsome square bay window which floods the room with natural light as well as a characterful real-flame balanced-flue gas stove.
Double doors lead through to an equally spacious dining room, enhanced by windows to the side, creating an ideal setting for both formal gatherings and everyday family life.
A few steps down from the hallway is a stunning open-plan living space at the rear of the house.
This thoughtfully designed area incorporates a well-appointed kitchen with a rooflight above, planned to provide ample storage and incorporating a number of integrated appliances.
There is ample space for informal dining, as well as a relaxed seating area that enjoys lovely views over the garden through bi-fold doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms, the smallest of which currently serves as a study.
The principal bedroom is an impressive size and offers fitted wardrobes, a bay window, and a generous en-suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower.
The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite, while a family bathroom serves the remaining room on this level.
On the top floor, two further double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, accompanied by a separate shower room, ideal for guests, older children, or home working.
Outside, the property enjoys a delightful east-facing rear garden, mainly laid to lawn with a decked seating area positioned close to the house, perfect for morning sunshine and alfresco dining.
To the front, a driveway provides off-street parking for two cars. Lemsford Road is in a central and convenient location, with easy access of the wide range of amenities in St.
Albans city centre and a short walk from the mainline station where there are fast rail links into central London. Clarence Park is nearby as are several well regarded schools.
