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
Detached dormer bungalow located in a quiet backwater, in the highly sought after and affluent village of Astbury.
It is offered to the market with no onward chain and perfectly suited to those hopefully seeking a smooth and swift purchase.
The plot extends to approximately 0.12 acres or thereabouts (that's considerable by comparison to many modern homes which often occupy only half of such space) and backs onto the picturesque Cheshire countryside.
It is an exquisite location and indeed a very rare find that offers uninterrupted views toward Congleton Edge and Bosley Cloud.
The accommodation features a modern open-plan living through dining space, which is the perfect enclave for receiving guests and entertaining, with doors leading out to the garden.
It has seen considerable investment and presented in excellent decorative condition, boasting a refitted kitchen, modern bathroom and a fantastic summerhouse.
Contemporary touches including anthracite tubular radiators and engineered oak flooring give this a really modern vibe.
We believe this wonderful property forms the ideal compromise for those who are tempted to move to a rural locality, but encounter a degree of reluctance - for fear of forsaking facilities or the security offered by adjacent homes.
The property offers the best of both worlds and successfully bridges that gap.
It enjoys a semi-rural location, yet within easy distance to local amenities including the impressive Glebe Farm, where you will find a great butchers and farm shop, alongside other independant shops and businesses.
The Egerton Arms and nearby primary school are only a short stroll away.
Astbury is a beautiful and charming village in the heart of Cheshire, surrounded by idyllic countryside and boasts one of the few remaining village greens left in country, sitting beneath a fourteenth century Gothic style church.
Astbury Mere Country Park is also at hand (1.2 miles or 3 minutes by car).
Formally a sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over thirty four acres of open space.
The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded in part by mature trees.
It is a shared amenity with a sailing club and is described as a quiet and picturesque sanctuary close to the busy market town of Congleton and is very popular with dog walkers and ramblers alike.
Congleton provides excellent access of the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel.
Trunk roads including the new bypass provide a link between Stoke-On-Trent and Manchester, as does the local railway station which lies on the West Coast Main Line.
Closer inspection is highly recommended. Why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour, especially if you are looking for something a little less than ordinary.
