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
Individually designed and built around 2020, this spacious four-bedroom detached house commands a lovely location with far-reaching open countryside views.
The intelligent design and layout have created generous room sizes across both floors, incorporating fantastic open-plan living space on the ground floor and six large dormer windows on the first floor, bringing in plenty of natural light and making full use of the scenic, elevated views to the rear.
The spacious central entrance hall leads to the main living accommodation. The large living room spans the full depth of the house, measuring over 22 feet, with French windows opening to the garden.
An open plan dining room then opens to a hugely impressive kitchen/breakfast room, with contemporary high gloss units, a central island and integrated cooking appliances.
There is also a separate utility room and cloakroom/wc.
The large landing leads to four double bedrooms and a superb 13ft family bathroom, featuring a free-standing oval bath, a large walk-in shower enclosure, and tiling to the walls and floor with underfloor heating.
The main bedroom includes a good-sized en suite shower room which also has underfloor heating. The property has a detached garage.
Wrought iron double gates provide access to a generous block paved parking area with an electric car charging point. At the other side of the house, a good-sized garden has ample privacy.
The garden is rented from Lambton Estate.
The specification includes gas central heating with a Baxi combination boiler and designer radiators, and uPVC double glazing, providing an energy efficient B rated EPC.
