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
Positioned within a quiet residential close in east Ipswich, this three bedroom detached home presents a great opportunity for thoughtful modernisation.
The ground floor is arranged around a central entrance hall.
A separate kitchen sits at the front, while the well proportioned living room extends across the rear of the house, with patio doors drawing in natural light and opening directly onto the enclosed garden.
A cloakroom and integral garage complete this level.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a third single bedroom equally suited to a nursery or home office and a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
The rear garden offers a private, enclosed setting with scope to landscape and personalise.
Although the house would benefit from updating, its practical proportions and straightforward layout provide an excellent foundation from which to create a considered contemporary home.
Mandy Close is well placed for the everyday amenities of east Ipswich, with local shops, Ipswich Hospital and Derby Road railway station all within easy reach.
Families are also well served by nearby schools, including St John’s Primary School and Copleston High School.
With its detached setting, garage and considerable potential, the property is likely to appeal equally to first-time buyers, investors or anyone looking to shape a home of their own.
