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 lovely modern home was constructed just four years ago and has six years remaining on its NHBC guarantee.
Set back from the road, the front door opens into a bright entrance hall with a useful WC adjacent.
A glazed screen separates the hall area from the stylish kitchen, which is at the front of the property and is carefully planned to incorporate plenty of storage, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for informal dining.
The reception area is to the rear, with plenty of space for living and dining furniture and glazed double doors overlooking the garden.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor offering good flexibility of use, all can accommodate a double bed, but two currently serve as excellent home office spaces.
There is a smart family bathroom accessed from the landing and the largest bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite shower room.
The garden is a particularly attractive feature of the house, facing south-east, it is a lovely space in which to relax and has been beautifully landscaped with a range of established plants and shrubs and a seating area beneath a timber pergola.
A gate to the rear allows direct access to the front of the property. The house is sold with two allocated parking spaces and has an EV charging point.
The property is located in Smallford, to the east of St Albans.
This semi-rural setting gives easy access to the wide range of amenities in St Albans and locally there is an excellent Farm Shop and restaurant.
The property is close to a nature reserve with plenty of lovely walks and both St Albans and Hatfield Stations are easily reached and provide fast rail links into central London.
