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
The property A detached property occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres, offering extensive accommodation and considerable scope for refurbishment and improvement.
The ground floor comprises a large principal reception room, kitchen, bathroom and an additional room which could be used as a bedroom.
The main reception room opens into a substantial conservatory which extends across much of the rear of the house and wraps around the side elevation, connecting the main accommodation to a further separate reception room at the rear.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom with a large sunken jacuzzi bath.
The property is accessed directly from Rydon Lane via double gates, with ample off-road parking and a garage. To the rear, an enclosed garden provides a good-sized outdoor space.
