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 Characterful Family Home with Flexible Living Space and Fantastic Potential Situated on Mill Lane in Widnes, this much-loved family home has been in the same family for an incredible 100 years, offering a rare opportunity to purchase a property with a real sense of history, character and plenty of potential.
Originally a three-bedroom semi-detached home, the property has been thoughtfully adapted to create two bedrooms, with the third bedroom space currently utilised as a home office.
For buyers requiring three bedrooms, the original layout could be easily reinstated by adding a stud wall. The property also offers excellent potential within the existing extension.
With plumbing already in place for a bathroom, there is the possibility of creating a further downstairs bedroom or additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions and requirements.
The property currently benefits from three bathrooms, including an en-suite to one of the bedrooms.
The home features a newly fitted kitchen and new conservatory, creating bright and versatile living spaces overlooking the rear garden.
A log burner provides a cosy focal point to the living accommodation, while gas central heating ensures comfort throughout.
Character has been retained throughout, including the original floorboards across the ground floor, adding warmth and charm to this much-loved family home.
One of the bedrooms benefits from integrated wardrobes, providing useful built-in storage.
Externally, the property enjoys a good-sized rear garden, offering plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, relaxing or family use.
While there is currently no off-road parking, the front garden/patio area offers potential to be adapted to create a driveway, subject to the necessary permissions.
With its fascinating 100-year family history, character features, modern improvements and flexible accommodation, this property offers a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to create a home tailored to their needs while retaining the charm and character of the original property.
