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
Charming Two-Bedroom Character Cottage This delightful semi-detached cottage, once part of a traditional farm steading, offers a perfect blend of character and convenience.
Ideally situated, it benefits from a shared parking area with the neighbouring property.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway provides a cloaks area, staircase to the first floor, and access to the main living spaces.
The dual-aspect living room is bright and inviting, featuring patio doors that open to a side patio.
The kitchen/dining area is fitted with a range of wall and base units, an integrated oven, gas hob, and extractor fan.
A stainless steel sink is positioned beneath the rear-facing window, and there is space for a washing machine.
An opening leads to the utility area, which accommodates a freestanding fridge/freezer, tumble dryer, and houses the wall-mounted boiler.
A door from here opens directly to the rear patio garden, perfect for outdoor dining. Upstairs, a spacious landing offers built-in storage and leads to two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is dual-aspect and generously proportioned, while the second bedroom is a comfortable single with a front aspect.
The bathroom includes a three-piece suite with a WC, basin, and bath with shower over. Outside, the rear patio garden features a garden shed and a gated access to the parking area.
This character-filled home offers charm, practicality, and an excellent location.
