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
Designed and built as a bespoke home in 1992, 20 Vale Coppice has been owned within the same family ever since and it's now available to the open market for the first time with no onward chain.
The size of the home is not readily apparent from the exterior and so it is more important than ever to appreciate the overall floorspace stands at 2785square feet.
This accommodation includes 5 bedrooms to the first floor, four of which are particularly generous and served by a combination of en suite, large family bathroom and dswc.
The ground floor includes a large porch and individual hall, the primary living room runs the full depth of the property and flexibility is provided by a impressive dining kitchen plus garden room.
Family friendly features also include an integral garage, separate utility and there is a thoughtful provision for storage within the main loft, aforementioned garage and cupboards.
Finally, the accommodation is completed by a remarkable two storey detached garage which has been used as a workshop and office with the added benefit of a WC.
The space would no doubt be welcomed by motor enthusiasts or similar but it is equally important to note that planning permission has been obtained (Bolton Council planning reference number 21525/25) to convert this garage into a one-bedroom annex.
To the exterior, there are front and rear gardens together with substantial drive and excellent side garden area fringed by woodland.
Homes within this cul de sac are only offered to the market occasionally and given the more unique characteristics on offer with this home we would expect interest to be strong.
The property is Freehold Council Tax is Band E - £2,807.65 Vale Coppice is ideally located for access to Blackrod Train Station which is around 0.7 of a mile away and junction 6 of the M61 which is around 2.5 miles away.
This infrastructure attracts many people to the area who are looking to be within a Manchester commuter belt.
There is equally good access to the surrounding countryside which has been a strong feature of the town for many years.
A simple glimpse at a satellite view of the area will illustrate the vast open green space nearby.
The low density cul-de-sac is made-up of relatively individual homes and we feel this particular property sits in the prime most position being within a large corner plot and at the head of the cul de sac.
Houses of this style often appeal to growing families and the package on offer in the town is ideal in terms of access to nurseries, primary and secondary schools.
There is a great combination of traditional shops within Horwich centre which is a market style town and around 0.5 of a mile away and this merges perfectly with the larger outlets available in the renowned Middlebrook retail development which is approximately 3 miles away.
