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 Sorrento is a beautiful, contemporary five bedroom home spanning three floors, designed with family life and socialising in mind.
The spacious entrance hall leads off to a large kitchen and dining area, with breakfast bar and room for a family-sized table where you can gather together for meals and memories.
The open plan design means you can cook in the kitchen whilst keeping an eye on the kids or talking to guests whilst French doors leading onto the garden, bring the outside in.
There's also a separate utility room and cloakroom. Across the hall, you'll find the large lounge, with double aspect windows making it a bright and welcoming space.
Its size means you can divide the space into zones, whether that's for watching TV, curling up with a good book, or a spot to work, play or study.
The feeling of calm and comfort continues upstairs, where there are five bedrooms and two family bathrooms accommodate the two upper floors, giving space for everyone but making sure family members are close at hand if needed.
The additional rooms could be used to welcome overnight guests, or turned into a playroom or office, while the master bedroom with ensuite shower room offers a private space to relax after busy, fun-filled days.
