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 modern three-bedroom staggered terrace house offering well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and presenting an excellent opportunity for updating and personalisation. No chain.
The property is approached via a path to the front garden with the benefit of off-street parking and a garage en-block to the front of the home.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with hardwood flooring that runs throughout the whole home, stairs rising to the first floor with a deep under-stair recess and a fitted cupboard.
To the rear of the property is a generous sitting/dining room, a bright and versatile space with ample room for both relaxing and entertaining.
This room enjoys views over the rear garden and provides a pleasant focal point for everyday living, with the additional benefit of air conditioning.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, offering good storage and preparation space.
While functional, the kitchen would benefit from modernisation, allowing a buyer to redesign to their own taste and requirements. The first-floor landing leads to three bedrooms.
The main bedroom is a comfortable double room, while the second bedroom also offers double proportions. The third bedroom is a single room, ideal for use as a child’s bedroom, home office, or study.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, with a shower over, a wash basin and WC and, like the rest of the property, would benefit from updating.
Outside, the rear garden provides a private outdoor space, currently hard landscaped with a border bed. An awning provides a covered seating area adjacent to the back of the house.
The property further benefits from a garage and off-street parking en-block to the front of the home with access available from the garden.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this home represents a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a well-located property to refurbish and add value.
