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
The Rowans, the most incredible family home for the past 25 years, which stands on a plot that extends to 0.25 acres or thereabouts (that's about three times the size of your conventional modern home).
The large garden is not over-looked and has an extensive lawn, mature shrubs and flower beds, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.
The accommodation offers over 2400 square foot of beautifully balanced space that very few modern homes are able to offer.
Large windows flood the rooms with natural light, which is clearly very noticeable in the generous dual aspect living room (which is over 31’ long).
Upstairs, the four bedrooms are very large and it's quite apparent that each of them would adequately fit a super king bed and furniture.
The property has been lovingly maintained and is presented in excellent decorative condition.
Solid oak flooring provides flow through much of the ground floor, there is an addition of a multi - fuel / wood burning stove in a Derbyshire limestone surround, a new downstairs cloakroom from 'Wharf Plumbing' and the kitchen has been tastefully modernised with professionally sprayed cabinetry and upgraded worksurfaces.
There is also a double garage and parking for four cars.
Padgbury Close is a privileged cul-de-sac of only eight dwellings, which are located to the South West of Congleton in an affluent area off Padgbury Lane.
It’s located only a few minutes’ walk to the beautiful Astbury Mere and to open countryside leading to the historic Astbury Village.
Astbury Marsh is on the outskirts of the town, ideally placed between Astbury and West Heath.
Astbury is a beautiful and charming village in the heart of Cheshire, surrounded by countryside and boasts one of the few remaining village greens left in the country and sits beneath a fourteenth century Gothic style church which shapes the landscape.
Astbury St Mary’s C of E Primary School is sited less than a mile from the property. West Heath is a popular suburb which is often favoured for its excellent school catchment.
It is home to two Primary Schools (Quinta and Black Firs) and Congleton High School, all of which are easily within walking distance of Padgbury Close.
This incredibly popular area of Congleton is also very fortunate to enjoy useful amenities and some very beautiful open spaces, especially Astbury Mere Country Park, which is on your doorstep.
Astbury Mere was created within a former sand quarry, which has since been beautifully landscaped with a mature lake and over 34 acres of open space.
The lake itself is a very attractive piece of water set in a slight valley surrounded, in parts, by mature trees.
This shared amenity with a sailing club is described as a quiet and picturesque sanctuary close to the busy market town of Congleton and is very popular with dog walkers and ramblers alike.
The West Heath Shopping Centre is located between Holmes Chapel Road and Sandbach Road. It hosts a wide range of shops and conveniences that include supermarkets, eateries and even a Pharmacy.
Congleton itself is a historic market town with a good selection of shopping facilities and restaurants.
It provides excellent access to the North West Motorway networks with nearby junctions at either Sandbach or Holmes Chapel.
Commuters often choosing this side of the town to avoid unnecessary traffic at peak times. The new bypass offers easy access to Manchester and its environs.
The local railway station which lies on the West Coast Main Line is a short drive away.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space and quality The Rowans provides, but why not start by taking a moment to admire our immersive, interactive virtual tour. EPC GRADE C.
