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
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial seven-bedroom townhouse offering exceptional space, complete with a large rear garden, basement, and gated driveway with parking for several vehicles.
Requiring modernisation but rich in potential, the property retains original wooden floorboards beneath the carpets, and provides a fantastic canvas for creating an impressive family home or multi-generational residence.
Homes of this size and versatility rarely come to the market and early viewing is highly recommended.
Description The property is entered via the main front door into a welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to the principal ground floor rooms and staircase rising to the upper floors.
To the front of the property is a spacious reception room, filled with natural light and ideal as a formal living room or family lounge.
A second generously sized reception room sits to the rear, offering excellent versatility and perfectly suited as a dining room, additional sitting room, or family living space.
To the rear of the ground floor is the kitchen, which enjoys views over the garden and offers scope for modernisation and potential reconfiguration.
A convenient ground-floor shower room is also located on this level.
A useful basement level provides excellent additional storage space and offers further potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary works.
The first floor comprises several well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom. The generous room sizes and high ceilings create a sense of space and character throughout.
Further floors provide additional bedrooms and bathroom facilities, bringing the total accommodation to seven bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The layout offers flexibility for large families, guest accommodation, home offices, or multi-generational living.
To the rear of the property is a large enclosed garden, offering a wonderful outdoor space with ample room for seating areas, gardening, or family use. Two garden sheds provide practical storage.
To the front of the property, a gated driveway provides secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
The property would benefit from modernisation but offers significant potential to create an impressive home.
Of particular note are the original wooden floorboards located beneath the carpets throughout most of the property (excluding the kitchen) which, once restored, could add warmth and character to the interiors.
Location Situated in a convenient and well-connected area of Exeter, Polsloe Road is located within easy reach of the city centre, Exeter University and the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital.
The property is ideally positioned close to a range of local amenities, including shops, schools, cafés and supermarkets, while Polsloe Bridge railway station and regular bus services provide excellent transport links.
Exeter's historic quayside, shopping districts and green spaces are also just a short distance away.
