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
Representing an exciting opportunity for a buyer to acquire a three-bedroom semi-detached home in a convenient and established area of Chester, this property is brought to the market with the significant added incentive of NO ONWARD CHAIN .
Having enjoyed many successful years as an investment property for the current owners, the time has now come to pass the baton of ownership to a new buyer, whether that be a homeowner looking to create a home to their own tastes or a buy-to-let investor seeking to add to or expand an existing property portfolio.
The property is presented in a condition that lends itself to a scheme of cosmetic improvement, but this should only add to its appeal.
The underlying proposition is excellent, with the property enjoying a good position, a private rear garden with a leafy outlook bordering the Chester Millennium Greenway, and off-road parking via its own driveway.
There is clear scope for a buyer to introduce their own style and specification, creating a home that reflects their personal tastes while adding value and enhancing its overall appeal.
The property is approached via a private driveway providing off-road parking, with a front garden laid principally to lawn and a paved pathway leading to the UPVC double-glazed entrance door.
Alongside the property, double gates open to a useful canopy and provide access through to the rear garden.
The garden is laid predominantly to lawn with areas of concrete hardstanding and is enclosed by timber fencing, creating a private and sheltered outdoor space which represents something of a blank canvas for the keen gardener.
Entry into the property leads into the hallway, where a staircase rises to the first-floor accommodation and double doors with glazed inserts provide access into the living/dining room.
This is a well-proportioned open-plan reception space, enjoying an enclosed bay window to the front and French doors from the dining area providing access and views into the rear garden.
Useful understairs storage further enhances the practicality of the space.
Completing the ground floor is the kitchen, fitted with a range of wall, base and drawer units with work surfaces, together with an inset one-and-a-half bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, inset electric hob with built-under oven and grill, and space for further appliances.
The kitchen also incorporates a useful utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, while an external door provides access to the side of the property.
To the first floor, the landing provides access to all three bedrooms, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a single third bedroom.
The latter could readily serve a variety of purposes, including an ideal home office for those working from home, nursery or child's bedroom.
The accommodation is completed by the bathroom, which features a three-piece suite including a shower over the bath, together with tiled walls.
The property is connected to all mains services and benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.
It is offered for sale on a LEASEHOLD tenure, with the current lease understood to have commenced on 8 July 1975 for a term of 999 years .
ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A BUYER SEEKING A PROPERTY WITH GENUINE POTENTIAL, A GOOD LOCATION, PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE AND THE SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT OF NO ONWARD CHAIN.
THE SCOPE FOR COSMETIC UPLIFT SHOULD BE VIEWED AS PART OF THE PROPERTY'S APPEAL, PROVIDING THE NEW OWNER WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THEIR OWN STAMP ON THE HOME.
