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
Thomas Brown Estates are delighted to present this two double bedroom semi-detached home, offered with no forward chain and boasting excellent potential for extension and refurbishment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Ideally situated within walking distance of a range of local amenities, the property offers scope to extend to the rear, side, and loft space, as many neighbouring properties have successfully done.
The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen/dining room, and ground floor WC. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, family bathroom, and a separate WC.
The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and offers the potential to be divided to create a third bedroom, similar to other homes within the area.
Externally, the property benefits from a private rear garden and a driveway to the front providing off street parking for multiple vehicles.
Please note the property requires full refurbishment throughout, which has been reflected in the asking price, presenting an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
