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
A rare opportunity to acquire this outstanding detached period home on a desirable residential road.
Meticulously renovated from top to bottom, this property blends elegant period character with high-end contemporary finishes, creating a truly turnkey family home.
Behind its handsome façade, the house has been comprehensively upgraded, including brand-new high-end double glazing, a new heating system, full rewire, and newly installed kitchen, utility and high-quality bathrooms.
The interiors celebrate the property's original period charm, with beautifully crafted replica ceiling roses, cornicing, picture rails and deep skirting boards, all complementing the clean, modern specification.
The heart of the home is a stunning, newly fitted premium kitchen, complete with quality appliances and stylish finishes, supported by an adjoining utility room.
Living space is exceptional: a substantial main living room offers superb versatility and leads onto the garden via bi-folding doors, while a separate formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining.
Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a luxurious en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and an opulent family bathroom.
A further shower room on the ground floor adds convenience for family living. A cellar and cavernous loft offer excellent storage.
Externally, the enclosed south-facing rear garden is a standout feature - laid to lawn with a sleek porcelain-tiled patio, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.
A truly exceptional home where period character meets modern luxury.
