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
Dating back to 1926, this characterful 3 bedroom detached home offers a rare opportunity to create a stylish, modern living space in a highly sought after residential setting.
Requiring some updating, the property presents ample scope for improvement and extension (STPP), making it ideal for those looking to add value and personalise their home.
The property welcomes you through an inviting entrance hallway (with generous walk-in understairs storage) leading to a large front-facing dining room and a separate double aspect lounge.
The lounge features an oak beamed ceiling and a characterful inglenook fireplace, with a real-flame coal-effect gas fire, perfect for cosy evenings.
From here, the space flows seamlessly into a bright double glazed conservatory overlooking the beautifully maintained garden, which truly stands out as a peaceful retreat.
Generous in size, sunny all day, and not overlooked, it features a patio area and lawn framed by mature planting, creating a private and tranquil outdoor setting - ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
Two timber sheds are conveniently close to the house and a wooden summerhouse at the end of the garden catches the last of the evening sun.
Access to the front garden can be gained either through the garage or an entrance at the side of the house. The kitchen and convenient downstairs cloakroom and WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with ample storage on the landing, two particularly spacious bedrooms, one of which has a basin and vanity unit under and full height built-in wardrobes, and a door leading into a spacious eaves storage cupboard.
A versatile third bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed, alongside a family bathroom with a separate WC.
Outside, the property further benefits from a carriage driveway and a double length garage (with automatic electric door), offering exceptional parking and storage.
Offered with no upper chain, this home combines period charm with exciting potential in a prime location.
