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
Four-bedroom semi-detached homes rarely become available in this area, and this attractive red brick property combines that extra accommodation with a highly convenient position in a small cul-de-sac, approximately 0.5 miles from Carrickfergus town centre, transport links and the popular seafront.
The entrance hall gives separate access to the lounge at the front of the house, a useful downstairs WC and the 18'11 x 10'8 kitchen at the rear, which is a real focal point and is fitted with an extensive range of sage green shaker style units, with a door providing direct access to the garden.
Upstairs there are four bedrooms, with bedrooms two, three and four benefiting from a range of fitted bedroom furniture, while the family bathroom is finished with a white suite incorporating an L-shaped bath, fully tiled walls and a chrome heated towel rail.
Plain plastered ceilings throughout add to the contemporary feel, with double glazing and a gas heating system also in place.
Outside, the fully enclosed gardens are laid partly in lawn and partly in patio, providing a secure space for young children or pets, while a tarmac driveway provides off road parking for two cars and the side garden offers potential to create additional parking if required.
With the town centre and seafront both within easy reach, four bedrooms and no ongoing chain, there is plenty here to attract interest, while the current owners are also in a position to offer a quick completion.
Early viewing is strongly recommended. . New to the market,... further details and measurements to follow shortly THINKING OF SELLING ?
