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 rare opportunity to acquire this completely detached three bedroom residence, occupying an exceptionally generous plot on the ever popular Markyate Road in Slip End.
This substantial home offers an abundance of potential and is ideal for families, developers or buyers looking for a property they can truly transform into a long-term dream home.
Internally, the property offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation throughout, including three generous bedrooms, with the master bedroom benefitting from its own ensuite.
The home already provides fantastic living space but, more importantly, offers huge scope for enlargement and enhancement.
One of the standout features is the planning permission already granted for an impressive 8 metre rear extension together with a swimming pool, giving the incoming purchaser the exciting opportunity to create a substantial luxury family home without the delays and uncertainty of obtaining planning from scratch.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a detached double garage, extensive frontage and a very large overall plot, offering excellent privacy, ample parking and extensive outdoor space.
In addition to the approved extension, the size and layout of the plot present further development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions, making this an incredibly exciting opportunity for those looking to add significant value.
Properties of this nature are exceptionally hard to come by, a completely detached home, detached double garage, approved extension plans, swimming pool potential, en-suite to master bedroom and further scope for development, all within the desirable village setting of Slip End with excellent access to Harpenden, St Albans, M1 and Luton Parkway.
A unique home with endless future possibilities.
