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 Property - Tudor Lodge is a modern, detached family home updated and reconfigured in recent years to offer deceptively spacious and thoughtfully considered family accommodation.
An entrance porch to the front leads to a ground floor hallway from which a straight run staircase leads to the first floor; doors lead to a lounge, to a second sitting room and to the kitchen/living/dining space.
Further doors open into a cloaks cupboard and a WC.
A multi-use second family sitting room overlooks the front garden and provides a highly flexible, adaptable space ideal for use as a study/craft room/playroom etc.
The dining room, like the family, overlooks the front garden and has been opened up in more recent years to provide a wonderful kitchen/living/dining space.
As such, it is open plan to the kitchen and to the living room providing a great space – the true heart of the home.
The kitchen has a broad window overlooking the rear garden and includes a comprehensive range of ‘Wren’ kitchen units with granite surfaces atop and including a central island.
A broad range cooker is to stay; so too an integrated dishwasher. American style fridge-freezer is available by separate negotiation.
To one corner of the kitchen is a neat pantry fitted with a range of store shelves whilst a connecting door links through to the integral garage in which is a utility area with space and plumbing for washing machine, a dog shower and a comprehensive range of storage.
The lounge immediately adjacent, and open plan, to the kitchen and has, as a focal feature, a multi-fuel stove recessed within a chimney breast.
This family living space connects through to a conservatory to the rear of the property from which to access the garden.
To the first floor, a landing area has doors leading to all bedrooms and to a shower room.
An arch opens to a games area/study space which has considerable potential to be made into a sixth bedroom if ever required.
The largest, principal bedroom, is a wonderful space including sizeable bedroom area, its own dressing room with a range of wardrobes to remain and a separate, luxurious en suite bathroom with twin bath and walk-in shower cubicle (completed 2025).
The second, guest bedroom is also en suite while the three remaining bedrooms are all doubles. These three bedrooms all share use of a modern, extremely stylish shower room (again completed 2025).
Gardens And Grounds - From the road fronting Tudor Lodge, a broad pull-in leads through a deep grass verge and via a gated entrance onto a block paved driveway with much provision for parking.
The drive skirts past a sizeable area of lawn and leads to the garage. This front garden, like the rear garden, is well screened by mature trees, shrubs and fencing.
Paths lead through gated entrances, to both sides of the property, and skirt around to the rear of the house.
A larger garden, to the rear of the house, features a broad, deep block paved patio accessed from both the kitchen and the conservatory.
This leads, in turn, onto a larger area of level lawn interspersed with a number of specimen trees. Garden store shed, to the far corner of the garden, is to remain. Additional Information - Freehold.
Mains electric, water and gas connect to the property. Drainage: to be confirmed.
