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.

Also on the ground floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing excellent versatility for use as bedrooms, home offices, or additional reception rooms if required, along with a family bathroom and central hallway.
To the first floor is an exceptionally large fifth bedroom, extending over 25 ft in length, creating an impressive principal bedroom, with additional storage areas off the landing.
