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
1 Minafon Terrace is a double fronted, three-bedroom mid-terrace home of traditional stone construction beneath a slate roof, located just 350 yards from the town centre.
Under the current ownership, the property has been fully renovated to create a comfortable and stylish living space.
The property benefits from gas-fired central heating, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators on the first floor, along with double-glazed sash windows throughout.
Offering ready to move into accommodation, it is likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers, including first-time purchasers and families seeking a home within easy reach of local amenities.
The sitting room features a wood-burning stove, and there is a second stove for the kitchen which is ready to be installed, with the flue liner included in the sale.
A particular feature of the property is the generous rear garden, which, with some improvement, could become a fantastic outdoor space enjoying distant views towards Cader Idris, within the garden there is a dilapidated outbuilding, which could be replaced with a Summer House or similar subject to the necessary planning consents.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, sitting room, and kitchen to the ground floor, with a first-floor landing leading to three bedrooms and a shower room.
The property combines character features, including oak doors and flooring, with modern upgrades throughout and is ready for immediate occupation. Early viewing is highly recommended.
