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
Situated along an attractive tree-lined residential road, this thoughtfully extended FOUR BEDROOM semi-detached home offers generous and versatile family accommodation, a private rear garden and ample off-street parking.
The property is particularly well placed for families, being within easy walking distance of the highly regarded BEAUMONT SCHOOL, with Oakwood Primary School also close at hand.
Extended by the current owners over the years, the house now provides approximately 1,391 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors.
The entrance hall leads to a comfortable separate living room at the front, providing a useful second reception space away from the main family area.
The extended rear of the house forms the heart of the home, with an impressive family and dining area measuring approximately 26 ft in length.
This generous space is ideal for everyday family life and entertaining, with direct access onto the garden and an adjoining fitted kitchen creating a sociable and practical arrangement.
A cloakroom and useful storage complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for family life, guests or home working.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Outside, the established rear garden is a particular feature, offering an excellent degree of privacy and plenty of space to enjoy.
A paved terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining, leading onto a substantial lawn bordered by mature planting, shrubs and trees.
The current owners particularly value the garden’s secluded feel and the sunshine it enjoys throughout the day.
To the front, a generous block-paved driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles, with gated access to the rear.
Although already considerably extended, the property may offer further potential to reconfigure or enlarge the existing accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.
The location combines a quiet residential setting with excellent everyday convenience.
Local shops are within easy reach, while St Albans mainline station is also accessible for services into London, making this an appealing and versatile family home in a highly sought-after part of the city.
