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
Aubrey & Finn are delighted to bring to the market Willow, an individual three-bedroom detached home occupying a generous wraparound plot in Redbourn.
Individually built in the 1990s and originally designed with four bedrooms in mind, the property offers exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation, mature gardens, a brick-built garage and extensive driveway parking, and is offered to the market with no upper chain.
Ideally positioned Positioned in the sought after village of Redbourn, the property is well placed for the surrounding countryside, while Harpenden station lies approximately 2.7 miles away and provides direct services to London St Pancras.
The M1 and M25 are also readily accessible.
Offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout, the property combines spacious living areas with a number of distinctive features, including exposed beams, vaulted detailing and an excellent mature garden.
The ground floor is centred around a spacious dual-aspect lounge, enjoying natural light from both the front and rear of the property.
The room features an attractive fireplace and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a bright and inviting living space.
There is also a generous separate dining room, providing an ideal setting for both everyday family dining and entertaining.
The recently renovated kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted with a range of eye-level and base-level units, together with integrated appliances including an oven, induction hob and dishwasher, alongside space for a washing machine.
A useful pantry area provides additional storage, while exposed timber beams add character to the room. A convenient door also provides direct access onto the garden.
Completing the ground floor is a convenient three-piece shower room.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three generously proportioned double bedrooms, with the two principal rooms benefiting from attractive pitched ceiling details and exposed beams.
The home was originally designed with a four-bedroom layout in mind; however, the current owners chose to retain an exceptionally spacious second bedroom in place of two separate rooms.
This impressive room is also dual aspect, enjoying views to both the front and rear and an excellent level of natural light.
Its generous proportions preserve the potential to reconfigure the space to create a fourth bedroom in the future, subject to any necessary consents and works.
The main bedroom further benefits from its own three-piece en-suite bathroom, while a separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
There is also excellent storage throughout the first floor, together with substantial loft storage. Externally, the property is particularly impressive and occupies a generous wraparound plot.
The mature rear garden offers an attractive combination of lawn, patio seating areas and established flowerbeds, complemented by a variety of mature trees including apple and willow trees.
Further benefits include a brick-built garage, an additional brick-built garden store and a substantial driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles.
Offering generous accommodation, excellent outside space and a rarely available self-build design, this individual family home presents an exciting opportunity on one of the area's most desirable roads.
