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
A modern and sociably laid-out detached four-bedroom home, beautifully presented and accompanied by a mature rear garden, generous driveway, and detached single garage.
Gulwell Drive forms part of the modern Saxon Gate development, built by Linden Homes. This particular property was constructed to the original ‘Pembroke’ design and completed in 2021.
Its versatile and sociable layout is ideal for modern family life, with two floors of accommodation reaching approximately 1,368 sq. ft.
Since new, the current owners have decorated and styled the property beautifully, offering a true turn-key home for its next owners.
The property also benefits from the remaining years of a Buildmark Warranty, valid until 2031. The front door, sheltered by a canopy porch, opens into a centrally positioned entrance hallway.
From here, doors lead to all the ground floor rooms, including a downstairs cloakroom with W.C.
The entirety of the ground floor has been finished with herringbone-patterned, wood-effect LVT flooring, creating a seamless finish and flow throughout the space.
To the left-hand side is the principal reception room, the sitting room, which a beautiful space featuring a box-bay front window.
Decorative wall panels have been added to give the room depth and character. To the rear, double doors open into the dining area, and subsequently out to the rear garden.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area span the width of the property, combining a fitted kitchen, ample space for a family dining table, and room for additional dressers, sideboards, or even a small sofa area.
The contemporary kitchen features both wall and base units and is finished with wood-effect worktops.
Integrated appliances include a double electric oven, gas hob with extractor hood, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher.
Beside the kitchen is a handy utility room with additional fitted wall and base units, a second sink and drainer, plus space and plumbing for a washing machine.
The wall-mounted gas boiler is housed within one of the cupboards, and a partially glazed external door opens onto the driveway.
Given this convenient access, the owners have created a practical coat-hanging area within the room.
Completing the ground floor is a further reception room, which could easily serve as a home office or study, but would also make an excellent playroom.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a useful built-in linen cupboard and a hatch providing access to the attic space.
All four bedrooms are of double proportions — two larger doubles and two smaller doubles. The principal bedroom is the most generous and benefits from an en-suite shower room.
Both the en-suite and family bathroom feature modern white suites with stylish tiling.
Externally, a low-maintenance flower and shrub border runs along the front of the property, with a paved pathway leading to the front door.
Beside the property, a tandem driveway provides parking for up to three vehicles ahead of the detached single garage, which benefits from power and lighting.
The rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and has been landscaped to include two patio terraces, raised borders, and a level lawn. Side access leads directly to the driveway.
We understand the property is connected to all mains services: gas, electricity, water, and drainage. The property comes with the added benefit of solar panels.
