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 with no upwards chain and priced competitively for an immediate sale, this two bedroom Victorian home is positioned on one of Stoneygate’s most popular residential streets.
The property brings together classic proportions, original detailing and a calm, timeless aesthetic, offering a blank canvas to design a home fit for modern day living.
Francis Street is well known for its independent shops and cafés, and the house sits just moments from the heart of this lively neighbourhood while remaining a quiet and welcoming cul-de-sac.
The interior unfolds with gentle coherence. The front reception room is anchored by a chimney breast and built-in joinery, its large sash-style window drawing light across the space.
Adjoining this is the dining room, an adaptable space that naturally lends itself to entertaining or quiet evenings, with a sense of flow through to the kitchen at the rear.
The galley kitchen is efficient in layout and filled with light, its simple cabinetry offering scope for reimagining.
A separate utility area sits beyond, opening directly to the extensive rear garden. Upstairs, two double bedrooms continue the home’s spacious proportions.
The main bedroom faces the street, bathed in morning light, while the second overlooks the garden, complete with a built-in storage nook.
The bathroom features a full-sized bath and overhead shower, with tiled finishes in neutral tones.
Outside, the garden is unexpectedly deep - a beautifully private and mature space framed by established planting and trees.
A paved terrace provides an easy setting for outdoor dining, with ample opportunity to create further landscaped zones. Offered with no upwards chain.
