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 really elegant bay fronted semi detached home offering generous accommodation, attractive period proportions and lovely views towards Solsbury Hill.
Situated in this popular residential area on the northern side of Bath, the property offers considerable potential.
The property has been cherished by several generations of the same family and now comes to the market as an exciting updating and refurbishment opportunity.
What immediately stands out is a well proportioned family home with plenty of character and an excellent opportunity for a buyer to create something special.
The house is approached through a good sized front garden, with steps leading up through the lawn to the particularly attractive bay fronted elevation.
The ground floor provides generous living space, with the reception room enjoying plenty of natural light, tall ceilings and views to the hills.
There is a separate dining room and breakfast room, with the latter leading through to the small kitchen at the rear. A small conservatory sits to the side of the house.
There are some lovely original details throughout, including coving, picture rails, decorative corbels in the hallway and period fireplaces.
A small cellar is accessed from beneath the stairs and provides useful additional storage. The arrangement to the rear offers particularly exciting potential.
Subject to the necessary permissions, the kitchen and breakfast room could potentially be reconfigured to create a much larger kitchen/breakfast space overlooking and opening onto the garden.
On the first floor there are three large bedrooms with a bathroom to the front and a separate WC on the landing. The view to the front is spectacular.
Solsbury Hill is a stunning sight and the sun rises to the east. To the rear is a fairly level, average sized garden offering plenty of space for sitting out and relaxation.
The garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging to the rear, together with a useful garden store and additional storage area to the side. A perfect spot for the evening sun.
A gate at the rear provides pedestrian access. Fairfield Park Road is a popular residential location with convenient access to both Larkhall and the city centre.
Larkhall offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, while nearby Camden Road provides a regular bus service into central Bath.
Families are particularly well served by local schooling, with St Stephen`s Primary School, St Saviour`s Infant and Junior Schools and St Mark`s Secondary School all within the wider area.
The private schools in Lansdown are just up the road.
There are also excellent opportunities for walking and recreation nearby, with the countryside around Charlcombe, Woolley and Lansdown easily accessible.
For commuters, the A46 provides straightforward access towards Junction 18 of the M4, while Bath city centre and its mainline railway station provide regular services to London Paddington and Bristol.
Overall a handsome and elegant period home in need of comprehensive refurbishment, offering generous proportions and an exciting opportunity to create a superb family house in this popular Bath location.
