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.

The welcoming entrance lobby leads into an impressive hallway, showcasing the original solid wood herringbone flooring and high ceilings that continue throughout, creating a wonderful sense of space and elegance.
A striking galleried landing further enhances the property's character and architectural appeal.
The spacious dual-aspect lounge is the heart of the home, centred around an attractive fireplace with an inset multi-fuel burning stove, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The lounge flows effortlessly into a cosy reading area before opening into the delightful conservatory, where French doors lead directly onto the patio, offering beautiful views across the mature rear gardens.
The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated appliances alongside a freestanding range cooker, complemented by a separate utility room and convenient cloakroom.
A generous dual-aspect dining room, currently utilised as a games room, provides a versatile space perfect for both formal entertaining and family living.
