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 very good opportunity to acquire a very tidy three-bedroom semi-detached home situated conveniently for access to a wide range of local facilities including Balliol Primary School, the Kempston Academy, local shops, including a Lidl supermarket, and The Branston Way which is a bypass on the western side of town providing a link to Bedford’s southern bypass, the A421, linking the M1 at Junction 13 with the A1 at the Black Cat Roundabout.
The property has been extended to provide very spacious ground floor accommodation that includes a WC off the entrance hall, a living room, fitted kitchen and a dining room which leads to a further family room.
A lean to at the side of the property provides a useful utility space and extra storage opportunities. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a single, all served by a shower room.
Additional benefits include gas fired central heating and PVCu double glazed windows. There is still plenty of scope to create a lovely family home.
Externally there is good off-road parking at the front and a really good size garden at the rear that has a garden shed.
Kempston is a very established community, once, we believe, known to be England’s largest village before being given ‘town’ status.
The town is full of shops and restaurants and has many popular recreational facilities.
Nearby Bedford offers further opportunities including its mainline railway station with fast and frequent services to London to the south and Sheffield to the north.
