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 Charming Victorian Home Moments from Shirley High Street This fantastic two-bedroom character terrace home is ideally situated just moments from Shirley High Street, where an abundance of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities can be found, alongside excellent public transport links.
Combining period charm with practical modern living, the property also benefits from off-road parking, gas central heating and a generous enclosed rear garden with a delightful summerhouse with power and telephone point.
Upon entering, a welcoming entrance porch provides useful additional space before leading into the charming living room.
Neutrally decorated with a feature wall, this inviting reception room enjoys plenty of natural light from the double-glazed front window and benefits from a characterful wood-burning stove, creating a warm and cosy focal point.
The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, which offers ample space for a dining table and chairs.
Stairs rise to the first floor, with useful understairs storage providing additional practicality.
The fitted kitchen is located to the rear and features attractive shaker-style cabinetry, solid wood worktops and a ceramic butler sink.
There is space for a washing machine and fridge freezer, alongside an integrated oven and gas hob. A door provides direct access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both retaining their original Victorian fireplaces, adding a wonderful sense of character and charm.
The bedrooms are served by a three-piece family bathroom comprising an enclosed panel bath with shower over, vanity unit with wash basin and low-level WC.
Character-style radiator, a heated towel rail and attractive brick-style tiling complete the space. There is a boarded loft with light and ladder for added convenience.
And the home benefits from gas central heating. Outside, the rear garden is a real gem, offering a patio seating area with the remainder predominantly laid to lawn.
At the far end of the garden is a fantastic summerhouse, complete with lighting, power points, phone line, dual-aspect windows and double doors.
Neutrally decorated and offering a good deal of privacy, this versatile space could be utilised in a variety of ways, whether as a home office, music room, creative studio or additional storage.
The garden enjoys a particularly private outlook, providing a wonderful outdoor retreat rarely found with properties so conveniently located.
This delightful character home would make an excellent first-time purchase, an ideal choice for those looking to downsize, or a sound investment opportunity.
Offered to the market with no forward chain, an internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the charm and versatility this wonderful home has to offer.
