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
This detached family home occupies a generous plot and offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and presents a rare opportunity for improvement and refurbishment to suit modern requirements.
Outside, the plot provides ample off-road parking to the front, while the rear, west-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn and includes a double garage with workshop and a garden office/summerhouse, creating a sense of space and potential that is increasingly hard to find.
The ground floor accommodation is centred around a generous living and dining room which offers good natural light and retains a sense of the property’s original proportions.
This principal space provides flexibility for everyday living and entertaining, with an open connection to a conservatory / lean-to at the rear, enjoying views over the garden and offering potential for a variety of uses.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house and provides access to an additional reception space, and a utility room which offers additional practical space and external access.
Completing the ground floor is a shower room, adding convenience and scope for reconfiguration as part of a wider programme of modernisation.
The overall layout offers a solid framework with clear potential to adapt and enhance to suit contemporary living requirements.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, all of which are well proportioned and benefit from natural light, reflecting the character and scale typical of properties of this period.
The main bedroom is a generous double, while the remaining two rooms offer flexibility for family use, guest accommodation or home working. A family bathroom serves the first floor.
Outside, the property occupies a notably generous plot. To the front there is off-road parking for several vehicles, providing a practical advantage rarely found with homes of this age.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and offers a good degree of privacy, with ample space providing a pleasant and adaptable outdoor setting.
Within the garden are a detached garage with workshop and a garden office / summerhouse, both offering useful ancillary space and further scope for enhancement.
