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
Situated in a popular residential location in Castleside, this well-proportioned three bedroom semi-detached home offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for a property with plenty of space, a great outlook and no onward chain.
The property has already benefited from a recently replaced kitchen and modern family bathroom, while there is still some scope for cosmetic improvements and redecoration throughout, allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on the home.
Upon entering, a particularly spacious hallway provides access to the main living accommodation.
The impressive lounge/diner runs the full length of the property, creating a generous and versatile space for both relaxing and entertaining, with plenty of natural light.
To the rear of the hallway is the recently replaced kitchen, which provides access through to a useful utility room.
The utility houses the boiler, has internal access into the garage and also provides direct access out to the rear garden. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms.
Bedrooms one and two are both generous doubles, while bedroom three makes an excellent single bedroom, home office or dressing room.
The modern family bathroom is a real feature, fitted with a large freestanding bath, separate freestanding shower, WC and wash hand basin.
Externally, the rear of the property enjoys a lovely woodland outlook, creating a particularly pleasant setting and a degree of privacy.
There is a patio and garden area to the rear, providing a great space for outdoor seating and enjoying the surrounding views, while to the front is a private driveway providing off-road parking.
With its generous accommodation, recently upgraded kitchen and bathroom, recently replaced boiler, garage, attractive woodland outlook and no onward chain, this is a home that offers a great combination of space, potential and location.
