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
Built in 1922, a four bedroom detached property, sitting on a lovely plot, approaching quarter of an acre in a prime residential area.
Bedford Park is close by and house is within the conservation area of the town and sold with no upper chain. It requires significant upgrading and is in a tired, but structurally sound condition.
There is scope to increase its value significantly with the right investment, and buyers are invited to submit offers before the closing date, 15th July.
Situated on a corner plot the property has a lovely entrance doorway leading to a large entrance hall with reception rooms either side.
A generous sitting room to the left with French doors to the garden and a fireplace.
A living room is to the right side, also with a fireplace, three windows for plenty of natural light and a lovely proportioned room.
A staircase climbs to the first floor at the end of the hallway and off to the right, a dining room with small kitchen leading off.
There is a lobby area, door to utility room, cloakroom and back door. On the first floor four double bedrooms, many fireplaces, a good size landing, bathroom, airing cupboard and separate toilet.
Outside the house sits closer to the right boundary with ample garden surrounding the other sides and a wealth of potential for extensions stp.
There is pedestrian access from Kimbolton Road and a driveway on St Edmond Road.
Planned are a series of viewings on the property, with a closing date for offers of Wednesday 15th July, 4pm to be submitted in writing via email.
Structural engineers report on the building and roof are available on request.
