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
Description Perfectly placed within a short stroll of the picturesque village of Ambleside, 28 Kirkfield enjoys an enviable setting in one of the Lake District's most sought-after locations.
This attractive two-bedroom end-terrace property offers comfortable accommodation and wonderful views towards the surrounding fells, including Wansfell.
The property is approached via a pathway bordered by established shrubs, leading to a part-glazed front door and welcoming entrance hall.
The hall provides excellent practical storage, including useful understairs space and a large double-doored cupboard with hanging rail, shelving and plumbing for a washing machine.
Amtico wood-effect flooring provides a durable finish, ideal for everyday living and returning from walks in the fells.
The spacious lounge and dining area features a large window overlooking the attractive garden, filling the room with natural light.
An appealing slate hearth provides an ideal focal point and offers the potential for a freestanding fireplace. There is ample space for comfortable seating and a dining table and chairs.
The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall and base units, wood-effect laminate work surfaces and an Astracast composite one-and-a-half bowl sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the established shrubs.
Integrated appliances include a Zanussi four-ring gas hob, electric double oven, extractor hood and Neue dishwasher, while a freestanding American-style fridge freezer provides additional storage.
Attractive glass splashbacks and large slate floor tiles complete the kitchen.
Double doors from the dining area open into a dual-aspect conservatory, which provides a lovely additional reception space and enjoys a tiled floor and blinds fitted within the ceiling glass panels.
A door leads directly onto the south-facing rear garden, with its pleasant outlook towards Wansfell.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing has a window overlooking the front of the property, loft access and a useful double-doored storage cupboard housing the Worcester boiler.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles and benefit from attractive rear-facing fell views.

The family shower room features a large Aqualisa walk-in shower, vanity wash basin with storage beneath, WC and heated towel rail.
Shower boarding to the walls provides a practical, low-maintenance finish, while an obscure-glazed window allows natural light into the room.
To the rear, the south-facing garden is accessed directly from the conservatory and provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
A paved patio offers room for a table and chairs, beyond which is a neatly maintained lawn bordered by established shrubs and an apple tree.
At the far end of the garden is a further paved area with a garden shed for storage of tools and equipment.
A pathway runs around the front of the conservatory and down two steps to a side gate, providing convenient access to Kirkfield.
