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
Shipridge Drive, Spencers Wood No onward chain A beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home, quietly positioned within a peaceful no-through road in the highly sought-after village of Spencers Wood.
Built in 2020 and owned by the current owners since new, this impressive modern home offers stylish accommodation arranged across three floors, a superb top-floor principal suite, a private south-facing garden, generous driveway parking and a detached garage.
Presented to the market by Richard Chambers at David Cliff, the property combines contemporary design with a wonderfully versatile layout, making it ideally suited to modern family life, entertaining and working from home.
From the moment you step inside, the sense of space, light and quality is immediately apparent.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise every floor while providing excellent separation between the living and bedroom spaces.
To the front of the ground floor is a stylish contemporary kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of modern cabinetry and providing an excellent everyday space for cooking Across the rear of the home is the impressive lounge/dining room, a generous and inviting living space with plenty of room for both comfortable seating and a dining table.
French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room while creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces during the warmer months.
A convenient downstairs cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation. The first floor continues to impress with two excellent-sized bedrooms.
Bedroom two spans the rear of the property and is particularly generous, while bedroom three provides another well-proportioned and flexible room that would work equally well as a child's bedroom, guest room, or dedicated home office.
Both are served by a beautifully presented modern family bathroom.
The entire top floor is dedicated to the superb principal bedroom suite, creating a wonderfully private retreat away from the rest of the accommodation.
High ceilings and dual-aspect windows create an exceptional feeling of light and space, while beautifully fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage.
The suite is completed by its own contemporary en-suite shower room. Outside, the property offers another significant advantage.
A long private driveway, which is not shared, provides generous off-road parking and leads to a spacious detached garage, offering excellent additional parking, storage, or potential for other uses, subject to requirements.
Side access leads through to the private south-facing rear garden, which provides a fantastic setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing in the sunshine.
French doors from the lounge/dining room further enhance the connection between the house and garden, making this a particularly enjoyable space during the spring and summer months.
With its quiet no-through-road position, modern three-storey accommodation, fantastic principal suite, private driveway, detached garage, south-facing garden and the added benefit of no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity to purchase a superb modern home in one of the area's most popular villages.
