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 well-presented three-bedroom link-detached home, quietly positioned in a cul-de-sac on the edge of the popular village of Piddlehinton.
The Property Offering well-balanced accommodation, the property is ideally suited to families, couples and downsizers alike.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with a ground floor cloakroom, thoughtfully added by the current owners.
The principal reception room is a spacious sitting/dining room, providing ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, with an attractive open aspect through to the kitchen.
The room also features a multi-fuel burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
The fitted kitchen offers a good range of worktop and cupboard space, with engineered oak flooring extending seamlessly throughout the ground floor and continuing into the conservatory.
This creates a bright and cohesive flow between the living spaces, with the conservatory providing an additional reception area and access to the rear garden.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, comprising two comfortable doubles and a single bedroom, ideal as a nursery, home office or guest room. These are served by a family bathroom.
The garage provides useful storage or workshop space and may offer scope for conversion, subject to any necessary consents.
Outside Set back from the road, the property benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking, access to the integral garage and a gravelled front garden.
Gated side access and a pedestrian door from the garage lead to the rear.
