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.

We are delighted to offer for sale this exceptional detached family home, occupying a desirable corner plot within a peaceful cul-de-sac on the popular Ridgeway development in Lanchester.

The works have included a new roof, complete internal renovation and reconfiguration, a stylish modern fitted kitchen, and a stunning contemporary family bathroom, creating a beautifully presented home that is ready to move straight into.
One of the property's standout features is its enviable position, with fantastic open views over fields to the front, providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy rarely found in a modern residential development.
The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch, downstairs WC, useful under-stairs storage, and a generous lounge.
To the rear is a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, creating a fantastic sociable space for modern family living.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, while double-glazed French doors open directly onto the rear garden. A separate utility room provides additional practicality.
