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
Situated within the ever-popular New Cardington Gate development on the fringe of Shortstown, this immaculately presented two-bedroom semi-detached home was built by Ashberry Homes to their sought-after 'Lavender' design and offers well-planned accommodation ideal for first-time buyers, young families, or downsizers alike.
The property is approached via an attractive frontage and, upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides access to a convenient cloakroom/WC and the principal living accommodation.
To the front of the home is a bright and spacious living room, while to the rear a modern open-plan kitchen/dining room creates the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units and benefits from an integrated oven and gas hob, with ample space for dining and direct access to the rear garden.
On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both served by a stylish family bathroom positioned between them. Externally the home has a driveway allowing parking for three cars.
To the rear is a enclosed, larger than average garden which is mainly lawned and part paved.
New Cardington is a popular and growing development situated to the south-east of Bedford, offering an excellent balance of modern convenience and accessibility.
Ideally positioned for commuters, the area provides easy access to the A421 bypass, linking directly to the A1, M1, Milton Keynes and Luton, making travel across the region straightforward.
The development benefits from a range of local amenities including a Tesco store, fish and chip shop, pharmacy, doctors surgery, The Hangars cafe and bar and great schooling facilities, all contributing to a strong community feel and convenient day-to-day living.
For those commuting further afield, Bedford town centre offers a wider range of shopping, leisure and dining facilities, along with a mainline railway station providing fast and frequent services to London St Pancras in approximately 40 minutes, making New Cardington an attractive location for both families and professionals alike.
