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
Positioned on the ever-popular Rowley Close, this substantial five-bedroom, two-bathroom (plus ground-floor W.C.) semi-detached home offers an impressive 1,547 sq.ft of internal accommodation arranged across two generous floors.
Combining excellent proportions with inherent versatility, the property presents a compelling opportunity for a purchaser to gently refresh and personalise a well-designed home in a highly connected location.
Set towards the rear of this distinguished cul-de-sac, the house immediately stands out; its red garage providing a confident splash of colour.
The garage sits behind a notable rarity for the area: Private off-street parking for more than one vehicle. Connectivity is excellent.
Nearby Bushey railway station provides direct services to London Euston railway station in approximately 17 minutes, making it an appealing option for commuters seeking a quieter village setting without sacrificing access to central London.
Inside, an entrance hall establishes a pleasing sense of proportion, centred around the staircase rising to the first floor.
The principal living space is an expansive through-lounge measuring 21’7” x 16’1”.
Sliding doors at the rear draw in excellent natural light and open directly onto the garden, creating a space equally suited to relaxed family living or larger gatherings.
The adjoining south-west facing kitchen enjoys views across the close and, while offering scope for cosmetic enhancement, remains highly functional with generous cabinetry, integrated appliances and plentiful storage.
A separate utility room and guest cloakroom further enhance the home’s practicality. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for growing families.
Two bathrooms serve the floor, both finished in neutral tiling from floor to ceiling - one featuring a bathtub and the other a walk-in shower enclosure.
A further point of interest is the substantial loft space, accessed via ladder from the principal bedroom and spanning the full width of the house, offering future potential subject to the needs and vision of the eventual purchaser.
To the rear, the north-easterly facing garden is a particularly notable feature.
Much like the off-street parking, it is unusually generous for the village - expansive, largely laid to lawn, and not overlooked.
A patio extends directly from the through-lounge, creating a natural setting for outdoor dining, while the broad lawn provides ample space for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying quiet evenings outdoors.
