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
Constructed circa 1847, this exceptional five-bedroom Victorian residence offers a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of Northampton's history.
Having been cherished by just three previous owners, the property has retained an impressive wealth of its original character, combining period elegance with generous proportions rarely found in modern homes.
Boasting high ceilings, substantial rooms throughout, a private courtyard garden and a single garage, this is a home of remarkable heritage and endless potential.
A welcoming entrance hall immediately showcases the property's timeless appeal, leading to two impressive bay-fronted reception rooms, each featuring original fireplaces and beautiful period detailing.
To the rear, the fitted kitchen overlooks and provides access to the secluded courtyard garden, with further access into the garage. The ground floor is completed by a convenient W.C.
and access to the extensive cellar.
Occupying three separate rooms, the cellar currently incorporates a utility area while offering exciting potential to create additional living accommodation, a home office or leisure space, subject to the necessary building regulations.
The first floor continues to impress with three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a home office.
A striking stained-glass window, originally sourced from a Northampton church, provides a stunning focal point to the landing, flooding the space with colourful natural light.
This floor also benefits from both a shower room and a separate bathroom, providing practicality for family living.
The second floor offers two further generous double bedrooms, with natural light pouring through a Velux-style window above the landing, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Situated on York Road, the property enjoys an enviable position in the heart of Northampton.
Northampton General Hospital is within comfortable walking distance, while the vibrant cafés, restaurants, independent shops and public houses of both St Giles' Street and Abington Street are just a two-minute walk away.
Excellent transport links, highly regarded schools and Northampton town centre are all close by, making this an outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly unique period home in one of the town's most desirable and historic locations.
