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 three-bedroom semi-detached home with substantial south-facing garden, home office and excellent potential. No Onward Chain.
Set in a highly convenient residential position, this generous three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous plot that rivals many larger family homes within the town, offering excellent scope for further enlargement, including a potential side and/or rear extension and attic conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
Believed to have been constructed in the 1950s for serving Police Officers, the property is built of brick elevations and stone detailing, under a tiled roof.
The property forms part of a small and cohesive group of just six similar homes along St Aldhelms Road, contributing to the settled and established feel of the location.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is both adaptable and well-proportioned.
On the ground floor, a spacious sitting room provides an inviting main reception space, flowing through to a conservatory which enjoys views and access onto the south-facing rear garden.
A fitted kitchen sits to the front of the property, supported by practical ancillary areas including storage and a cloakroom.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, together with a family bathroom. The layout also lends itself well to reconfiguration as part of any future extension plans.
In summary, this is a well-located and versatile home offering immediate comfort combined with significant future potential, set within one of Sherborne’s most convenient residential areas.
