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.

Welcome to Maple Court!
Offered for sale with a generous private garden, long lease and peppercorn ground rent, this beautifully presented two double bedroom cluster house provides stylish and well-balanced accommodation throughout.

Location The general character of Portsmouth Road and Woolston is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past.
Developed from a small rural settlement into substantial residential suburb, Woolston now benefits from an outstanding selection of local shops, amenities and cafés including a Lidl Supermarket (0.7 miles), Greggs Outlet (0.7 miles), Superdrug (0.5 miles).
Exceptional schools are nearby including the Woolston Infant School (0.3 miles) and St. Patricks Catholic School (0.2 miles) which has been rated 'Good' by Ofsted.
Other local points include: Woolston Train Station (0.4 miles), Weston Shore (1.0 mile), Mayfield Park (0.5 miles), Westwood Nature Reserve (1.1 miles) and although you can spend most days relaxing by the river and basking in the tranquil setting, the fast-paced city of Southampton is just a stone's throw away.
A short journey across the Itchen Bridge will take you to Southampton City Centre where you can enjoy a hearty meal in a traditional English pub or treat yourself to some fine dining in a Michelin star restaurant in Ocean Village, Southampton City Centre, the new Cultural Quarter and Oxford Street.
