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 well presented two double bedroom freehold semi-detached house located within the one-way section of Library Road.
Ideally positioned within walking distance of Heatherlands School and the large Branksome Recreation playing fields, this home offers convenience and comfort. What it’s got.
The ground floor offers a spacious open-plan lounge/diner enjoying views over the fields, and a separate fitted kitchen leading to a good-sized rear garden.
Upstairs comprises two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
To the rear of the garden is an outbuilding, currently arranged with two additional rooms, offering excellent potential for use as a home office, studio, or guest accommodation. What the owners say.
“We first fell in love with the property when we saw the garden view. Far reaching and west facing, sitting on the decking watching the sunset is still a firm family favourite.
The street was so welcoming when we arrived and we couldn’t ask for better neighbours on both sides. We will miss the house and all the memories we’ve made here.” Where it is.
The property is situated in an established, popular residential area of Parkstone, a stone’s throw from Branksome recreation ground and within easy reach of the highly popular Branksome retails park.
Ashley road shops and eateries are close to hand as well as the award winning sandy beaches of Bournemouth and Poole.
Branksome train station is nearby with fast links to Southampton and London, Waterloo.
