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.

To the rear is a newly fitted contemporary kitchen, finished with modern units, generous worktop space, integrated oven and hob and a sink positioned beneath the window.
French doors provide further natural light and give direct access to the rear.
Upstairs, the property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, both newly decorated and carpeted in a modern neutral finish.
The accommodation is completed by a particularly impressive newly fitted bathroom, featuring a modern suite with bath and shower over, glass screen, vanity wash basin and stylish marble-effect tiling.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by a handy cloakroom with wc and basin.
Externally, there is an enclosed, low-maintenance paved rear yard, complete with useful storage shed and gated access, providing a pleasant and practical outdoor space.
The property has clearly benefited from a comprehensive programme of improvement and would make an excellent choice for a first-time buyer, couple or buy-to-let investor looking for a home where the hard work has already been done.
Situated on Franklin Road in Blackburn, the property is conveniently placed for local amenities, schools and transport links, with Blackburn town centre and wider road connections readily accessible.
