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
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this substantial detached family home occupies a generous plot within the highly sought-after Mayfields development in Shefford, presenting an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a property they can modernise and transform into a truly impressive long-term family residence.
Extending to approximately 2,281 sq.
Ft., the accommodation is both spacious and versatile, featuring a large dual-aspect lounge, separate family room, office/study, expansive kitchen/dining room, utility room and ground floor cloakroom.
To the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, served by a family bathroom.
Requiring a programme of modernisation and improvement throughout, the property presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal family home.
Whilst the current photographs provide an indication of the accommodation available, they do not fully showcase the scale and potential on offer.
An internal viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the generous proportions, extensive plot and exciting opportunity available.
Externally, the property benefits from gated access leading to extensive driveway parking for multiple vehicles and a detached double garage.
To the rear, the sizeable garden incorporates a former swimming pool and offers superb scope for landscaping, renovation or complete redesign, subject to any necessary consents.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the larger homes within this established and desirable development, offering exceptional potential for buyers with vision. EPC tbc.
