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
Quote Ref: DP0213 when requesting further details of this substantial four-bedroom semi-detached home, situated within the picturesque village of Stambourne and enjoying attractive views across open farmland to the rear.
The property offers generously proportioned family accommodation, together with driveway parking for four or five vehicles, an attached garage and a particularly good-sized rear garden.
The property is entered through a composite front door into a welcoming entrance hallway, where doors lead to the sitting room, dining room and kitchen, while stairs rise to the first floor.
Laminate wood-effect flooring extends through the hallway and continues into the sitting room.
The sitting room is an impressive reception space spanning the full depth of the property and benefits from plenty of natural light.
There is a double-glazed window overlooking the front aspect, a further window to the side and glazed patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
A built-in cupboard houses the oil-fired boiler, while a glazed internal door leads through to the kitchen.
The kitchen has recently been refitted with a modern range of matching wall and base units, complemented by granite work surfaces.
Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, twin built-in ovens and an induction hob with an extractor above.
There is also a one-and-a-half-bowl sink unit and space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Sliding patio doors open from the kitchen into the conservatory, which provides an additional reception space overlooking the garden.
Further doors open directly onto the rear patio, making this an ideal room for relaxing or entertaining.
A glazed door leads from the kitchen back into the entrance hallway, from where the separate dining room can be accessed.
This characterful reception room features tiled flooring, a double-glazed window overlooking the front aspect and a feature fireplace housing an inset multi-fuel stove.
From the entrance hallway, stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where doors lead to all four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a useful airing cupboard.
Bedroom one is a good-sized double room with a double-glazed window overlooking the side aspect and a door leading through to the en-suite shower room.
The en-suite is fitted with a corner shower enclosure, low-level flush WC and a vanity unit with an inset hand wash basin. The room is completed by fully tiled walls.
Bedroom two is positioned at the rear of the property and is another generously proportioned double room.
A double-glazed window provides attractive views across the garden and adjoining open farmland, while a recessed area incorporates a fitted wardrobe. There is also a wall-mounted radiator.
Bedroom three is a further double room with a double-glazed window overlooking the front aspect and a range of built-in wardrobes.
Bedroom four is also positioned at the front of the property and provides ample space for a double bed.
Fitted wardrobes have been arranged around the chimney breast, while an additional built-in cupboard provides further useful storage.
The modern family bathroom is fitted with a p-shaped panel-enclosed bath with a shower above, a vanity unit incorporating a hand wash basin and a low-level flush WC.
The room features tiled walls to three sides, laminate flooring, a chrome heated towel rail and an obscured double-glazed window overlooking the rear aspect.
Outside, the property is approached over a concrete and shingle driveway providing off-road parking for approximately four or five vehicles.
There is also a useful bin store, while the driveway continues to the attached garage. The garage is fitted with an up-and-over door and provides useful parking, workshop or storage space.
A further pedestrian door opens directly into the rear garden.
The rear garden is a particularly generous size and commences with a paved patio immediately behind the property, providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
This leads onto an extensive lawn with additional seating areas, established borders, mature shrubs and an apple tree.
A range of useful timber cabins, sheds and storage buildings are positioned within the garden.
The boundaries are enclosed by timber panel fencing, while a picket fence to the rear allows the property to retain its attractive outlook across the neighbouring farmland.
The oil-storage tank is also located within the garden.
