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.

To the ground floor are two well proportioned family rooms which bathe in natural light and enjoy attractive views over the garden and surrounding grounds.
