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
"The rear garden and kitchen/dining room give this house plenty of potential for its next chapter, while the absence of an onward chain makes it an appealing option for buyers looking to move without delay." James Boyden - Chantries & Pewleys The kitchen/dining room spans the depth of the house and opens directly onto the rear garden through glazed doors.
Fitted with a range of wooden units and arranged to provide distinct cooking and dining areas, the space offers a solid foundation for refurbishment while already working well for everyday use.
The direct connection outside makes it easy to extend meals or gatherings into the garden during warmer months.
The separate living room enjoys plenty of natural light and further benefits from a central fireplace, while the proportions leave flexibility for different furniture arrangements.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a further single room that could equally serve as a nursery or study.
They are served by a family bathroom fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC. To the front, there is off-street parking.
The rear garden is arranged over several levels, combining a paved terrace immediately behind the house with raised planting areas beyond, creating a space that could be reimagined and landscaped to suit individual preferences.
Side access adds further practicality. Local Area Merrow shops are within easy reach and provide a splendid range of local shops including an M&S and chemist.
Schooling is excellent with several within walking distance including Merrow Infant School, Merrow Junior School, St Thomas of Canterbury, Boxgrove Primary, St Peters and George Abbot.
Merrow Downs and Guildford Golf Club are a short walk away, offering many miles of countryside, ideal for walking, running or cycling.
Guildford with its famous cobbled High Street and Castle is located approximately 2 miles away, providing an extensive range of leisure and recreational facilities with a wide range of shops, restaurants, the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, a cinema complex, G Live, Surrey Sports Park and Spectrum Leisure Centre.
Transport links are excellent with a regular bus service into Guildford and 2 stations including the mainline station connecting to London Waterloo in approximately 37 minutes.
The A3 is close by linking to the M25 motorway, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports.
