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.

There is also space for an under-counter fridge, while a side door leads to the covered walkway providing access to the brick-built outhouses, which offer plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
To the first floor, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and the second bedroom featuring a useful fitted cupboard.
The refitted bathroom is appointed with a modern suite comprising a low-level WC, wash hand basin, and panelled bath.
