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
Every bedroom at 2 Oakwell Park is a double. That alone sets this mid-terraced house apart.
Add around 90 square metres over two floors, a large enclosed rear garden and the primary school a short walk away, and a family has space to settle in and make the house their own.
The front door opens into a hallway with the stairs to the first floor and several cupboards off the inner hall.
The living room is at the front, a proper family room with space for a full sofa layout and a wide front window. Behind it, the kitchen offers access to the back garden.
The bathroom is also on the ground floor, at the rear. Upstairs, all three bedrooms open off the landing. The first bedroom faces the front and has built-in storage.
The two rear bedrooms are both well sized, so either one takes a double bed with room for a desk or wardrobes.
The rear garden is large and fully enclosed, so children can play and a dog can roam safely, and a keen gardener has plenty to work with.
At the front, there is scope to create a driveway, subject to the necessary consents.
The house is ready for new owners to update to their own taste, and the space and layout are already there to work with.
It's being sold with no onward chain, so the purchase can move at the buyer's pace.
Oakwell Park is within walking distance of Castle Douglas Primary School, and Aldi and Tesco are both close by for the weekly shop.
Castle Douglas is Dumfries & Galloway's Food Town, with independent butchers, bakers and cafés along King Street.
Carlingwark Loch on the edge of town is good for an evening walk, and the A75 links the town to Dumfries and beyond.
