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
Summary Entrance-hall | Through sitting/dining room | Kitchen/breakfast | Home office | Garden room | Cloak room | Two bedrooms | First floor shower room & laundry | Mezzanine | Gardens | Tenure - Freehold The property This beautifully presented period townhouse offers well-balanced accommodation over two light, bright and spacious floors.
The ground floor starts with a generous entrance hall leading to a spacious, through sitting/dining room, with an attractive open fireplace, and a modern-fitted kitchen/breakfast room, with direct access to the rear garden.
To the side is a versatile extension currently used as a home office/hobbies room, together with a cloakroom. The home office is flooded with natural light by virtue of double-glazed roof lights over.
Similarly, the breakfast room also benefits from glazed roof lights over, as well as glazed doors to the garden, affording some lovely garden views and again an abundance of natural light.
On the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a stylishly appointed and sizable shower room incorporating a laundry area.
A wide landing provides space for a desk and gives access to a useful mezzanine level over.
Outside The house sits behind a handsome part brick, part rendered façade, with a walled front garden with gated access and a path leading to the front door.
The rear garden is a particular highlight given its size and sunny westerly aspect.
This charming English cottage style garden has neatly tended box hedging, flowering trees, trellised fruit trees and seating and dining areas.
Amongst the established planting is a mature wisteria adding colour and dappled shade during the summer months.
At the far end of the garden is a substantial timber-built garden room with a glazed front elevation.
With power, light, insulation and partial double glazing, it offers flexibility for use in a number of ways, including as a home office, studio or workshop, or for leisure, as an additional reception space.
Location Hill Street is widely regarded as one of the most desirable roads within the Cathedral Quarter conservation area.
The Abbey, Verulamium Park & lakes, Victoria playing fields, The Brickie, St Michael's Village, the city centre, and both stations are within easy reach.
The area is also well-served by highly regarded schools, and extensive local amenities.
