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
Professionally extended detached family home in one of Durham’s most sought after residential areas.
Full Description - Set on Alnwick Road in Newton Hall, this well presented four bedroom house combines generous family living with a rarely available, large, private rear garden.
A separate entrance porch opens into the hallway, with a useful downstairs cloakroom/WC. The heart of the home is a spacious dual-aspect L-shaped lounge, opening the house up for family life.
A separate dining room has patio doors onto the garden with patio area and large overhead glass canopy, so indoor and outdoor living connect easily.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units and has a personal door into the integral garage.
Stairs from hallway lead to the first floor landing with doors to four bedrooms, one with a modern en-suite shower room, plus a family bathroom and a separate WC.
Externally, a large block-paved driveway offers off-road parking for several cars and leads to the integral garage with up and over door. The gardens are established and well maintained.
The rear garden is particularly generous, private and a genuine wow factor. Gas central heating with radiators throughout and uPVC double glazing.
Available with early vacant possession and no onward chain. Homes of this type, with this much family space and this location, attract strong interest.
Therefore, early viewing is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
