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
Open house: 17 October 2026 @ 11h00 - 14h00 ***Quote Ref: 829421 when calling*** From the moment you step through the front door of The Hollow, there is an immediate sense that this is a home designed to grow with family life.
Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 157 sq m, the accommodation feels generous, flexible and refreshingly versatile - giving everyone room to find their own space while still providing plenty of places to come together.
The ground floor creates that all-important balance between everyday family living and entertaining.
A welcoming living room sits to the front of the home, with its bay window giving the space character and natural light.
Moving further through the house, the separate dining room provides a natural setting for family meals, celebrations and evenings with friends, before opening the experience out towards the substantial conservatory at the rear.
It is easy to imagine this becoming one of the most-used spaces in the house - somewhere for morning coffee, relaxed weekends or simply sitting back and enjoying the outlook beyond.
Alongside these reception spaces, the kitchen runs through the heart of the ground floor, creating a practical connection between the different parts of the home.
Rather than prescribing how every room should be used, the layout gives the next owner options: Formal and informal living, entertaining, children's space, working from home or simply more room to spread out.
The sense of flexibility continues upstairs.
The first floor provides two well-proportioned bedrooms together with the main bathroom, a separate shower room and WC - a particularly useful arrangement for busy households.
A further staircase leads to the second floor, where two additional bedrooms create an appealing degree of separation.
These upper rooms could work beautifully for older children, teenagers, guests or home-working, depending on the needs of the next owner.
Outside, the generous garden is one of the home’s standout features, offering plenty of space for active family life, from children playing football to relaxed weekends outdoors.
Towards the end, a dedicated patio and gin-bar area creates the perfect spot for summer evenings, drinks with friends and entertaining - a garden designed to be enjoyed by the whole family.
That adaptable accommodation is matched by a strong Littleover lifestyle.
Families are well placed for local schooling, with Carlyle Infant and Nursery Academy and St Peter’s Church of England Aided Junior School reported close by, while Littleover Community School serves secondary and sixth-form pupils in the wider area.
Buyers should independently confirm current admissions and catchment or priority-area eligibility.
For time outdoors, King George V Playing Fields on Carlisle Avenue offers children's play facilities, tennis, cricket and football provision, skateboard ramps and outdoor gym equipment.
Derby also provides a wider choice of parks and leisure facilities, including Moorways Sports Village and Water Park. Healthcare is another practical strength of the location.
Royal Derby Hospital is within easy reach on Uttoxeter Road, Nuffield Health Derby Hospital is situated in Littleover, and gp practices serve the surrounding area.
Buyers should confirm current registration arrangements directly with their preferred surgery.
Littleover itself offers the everyday conveniences that help make a location easy to live in, with local shops, services, takeaways, restaurants and established pubs including The White Swan and Half Moon.
Derby city centre broadens the choice further for shopping, dining and entertainment.
For commuters, Littleover provides useful access towards the A38, A50 and A52, connecting with Derby and the wider East Midlands.
Peartree railway station is reported approximately 1.5 miles away, with Derby's main railway and bus connections also accessible.
Buyers should check the routes and journey times most relevant to their own commute. The Hollow is therefore more than a four-bedroom house.
It is a home with the space to evolve: Somewhere children can grow, guests can stay, working from home can be accommodated and family life can unfold without feeling confined.
Combined with Littleover's schools, green space, healthcare and connectivity, it offers the kind of practical long-term lifestyle that many buyers are searching for.
