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.

Thoughtfully improved and maintained by the current owners, the home effortlessly blends elegant and contemporary styling with a wealth of charming original features.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway which leads to two generous reception rooms, both offering versatile living and entertaining space with the added benefit of patio doors leading to the rear garden.
To the rear of the property, a stunning kitchen/breakfast room serves as the heart of the home enjoying a beautifully appointed design.
