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
The Byre, 78B Midton Road, is a unique and charming end-terraced cottage occupying a peaceful rural setting on the outskirts of Howwood, enjoying stunning and uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside.
Originally built in 1895 and converted around 1950 and then refurbished in 1997; then again in 2006.
This characterful property offers an appealing combination of traditional features and modern-day living.
Extending to approximately 81m2, the accommodation is arranged entirely over one level and retains a wealth of character, including exposed stonework, beams and original-style floorboards.
Internally, the property comprises an attractive open-plan lounge and dining area featuring an exposed stone feature wall and log-burning stove, with patio doors providing direct access to the rear garden.
The fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units with contrasting worktops.
There are two generous double bedrooms, together with a Jack and Jill bathroom comprising WC, wash hand basin and bath with electric shower. A separate WC is also located off the kitchen.
Externally, the property benefits from small gardens to the front and rear, with mature bushes and shrubbery to the front and a pathway leading to a small patio area at the rear.
A good-sized driveway provides convenient off-road parking. Howwood is a popular village offering a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle while remaining well placed for everyday amenities.
Local facilities include shops, a primary school, railway station and village amenities, while nearby Johnstone and Paisley provide a wider range of shopping, leisure, education and transport facilities.
Excellent road and rail connections provide easy access towards Glasgow, Paisley and surrounding areas, making this an ideal location for those seeking countryside living without sacrificing convenience.
