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 House Set over three floors, this is a house that works brilliantly for modern life, easy to live in day to day, with the flexibility for family living, guests and working from home.
Built in 2017, it sits within an elegant terrace with a more classical feel than many newer homes, with tall sash-style windows, subtle stone effect detailing and wrought-iron Juliet balconies that give the frontage real presence and a sense of character.
The kitchen sits at the heart of daily life, finished with attractive contemporary cabinetry, warm timber worktops and crisp white herringbone tiling.
There’s space to pull up a chair with a coffee, and plenty of work surface for anyone who genuinely enjoys cooking.
To the rear, the dining/family room is bright and welcoming, with French doors opening straight onto the garden ideal for summer lunches, evening drinks, and an easy connection between inside and out.
A ground floor cloakroom completes this level of accommodation. A real highlight is the generous first-floor room that spans the full width of the house, lit by two windows with countryside views.
Many owners use this as a sitting room, while others prefer it as an additional bedroom or a dedicated home office - an incredibly useful space that can adapt as needs change.
There are also two spacious bedrooms and a modern family bathroom on this level.
Across the upper floors, the additional bedroom accommodation is well balanced, with two en-suite shower rooms bringing everyday practicality, especially for guests or older children.
The principal bedroom also enjoys a range of fitted storage. Outside The rear garden is south facing and has been landscaped with real day-to-day use in mind.
A generous paved terrace creates a natural outdoor room for dining and entertaining, while a neat lawn offers space for play and planting.
Raised beds soften the edges and add structure without demanding constant upkeep.
The house is approached from the pavement through a neat, low walled frontage with traditional iron railings and a simple gate, creating a pleasing sense of separation from the street.
A clipped evergreen hedge softens the boundary, while the front door sits beneath a deep canopy porch with classic moulded detailing and a lantern light, an inviting arrival that hints at the home’s character before you even step inside.
The property benefits from off-road parking and a garage, providing valuable storage as well as practical parking.
