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
Set in Fairlands on the north-western side of Guildford, this extended five bedroom detached home offers a striking open-plan living space, a newly fitted kitchen and bathrooms, a ground floor bedroom, off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden, with shed included.
The entrance hall leads to a sitting room with a feature fireplace and fitted storage, with a cloakroom also on the ground floor.
At the rear of the house, the newly fitted kitchen, dining and family room forms the heart of the home.
Its high ceiling and rooflights bring in plenty of natural light, while wide glazed doors open onto the garden.
The kitchen has a range cooker, generous worktop space and a peninsula overlooking the seating area. A separate utility room keeps laundry facilities away from the main living space.
Also on the ground floor is a bedroom currently used as a home office, together with a newly fitted shower room. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom.
The newly fitted family bathroom features white tiling, a whirlpool bath with shower over and a vanity wash basin, with a window bringing in natural light.
The enclosed rear garden has a lawn and paved seating areas, with a timber shed and a covered outdoor bar/cooking area. To the front a broad driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles.
Fairlands offers local shops, a community centre and recreation grounds, with Worplesdon Primary School approximately 0.3 miles (walking distance) from the property.
Guildford town centre is a short drive away and is known for its historic cobbled High Street, with a wide choice of shops, cafés and restaurants.
The town also offers theatres, G Live, riverside walks along the Wey and a mainline station with services to London Waterloo. The A3 provides road links towards London and the south coast.
