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 charming four-bedroom 1940's family home on a generous corner plot of c.1/3 Acre in one of Langton Green's most sought-after roads.
Tastefully presented and full of period charm, this home has been thoughtfully cared for and recently improved by its current owners.
Original details run throughout, from the herringbone parquet flooring in the entrance hall to the quarry-tiled window sills that nod to its 1940's origins.
The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall and a bright dual-aspect sitting room anchored by a striking period stone fireplace, complemented by a newly installed media wall and fitted storage which add a stylish, contemporary touch.
The open-plan kitchen and dining room flows into a wooden conservatory, which connects beautifully to the garden through double-glazed doors - a natural spot for morning coffee or summer entertaining.
A ground-floor shower room and a flexible study - which works equally well as a fourth bedroom - complete the downstairs layout.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys beautiful dual-aspect garden views and a full wall of fitted wardrobes, alongside two further double bedrooms both with fitted storage.
There is also a beautifully appointed luxury family bathroom, recently installed and finished to a high standard.
The current owners have made substantial improvements throughout, including rewiring, new plumbing, complete replastering, and considered redecoration. Planning permission is also in place (ref.
22/01765/full) for those who may wish to extend in the future. The garden is a real standout feature.
Wrapping around the house on its secluded corner plot, it features sweeping lawns, mature trees, specimen acers, camellias, and a magnificent wisteria.
A bespoke wrought-iron balustrade frames the terrace, with multiple seating areas and patios to enjoy the setting, the mature beech hedging adds to the sense of privacy.
Two driveways and separate garages offer excellent storage and flexibility.
