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
This deceptively spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home is superbly positioned in one of Keswick’s most sought-after residential locations, just a short stroll from the town centre and its excellent range of amenities.
Enjoying attractive rooftop views towards Latrigg, the property has been tastefully modernised by the current owners and offers flexible, well-appointed accommodation throughout.
The property also presents exciting potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions, to convert the attic into a fourth bedroom with ensuite facilities.
Externally, the home benefits from generous off-road parking, a garage, and a delightful rear garden with a south-facing patio seating area — ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing.
The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom/WC, a stylish open-plan kitchen and dining area, and a separate sitting room which can be opened up or closed off as desired.
To the rear, a bright and versatile garden room features bifold doors opening directly onto the patio and garden, creating an excellent indoor-outdoor living space.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom.
One of the bedrooms, currently utilised as a home office and positioned adjacent to the principal bedroom, offers excellent potential to create an ensuite dressing room or provide access to a future loft conversion, subject to the relevant consents.
Finished to a high standard throughout, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented family home in a highly desirable Keswick location. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
