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
Ballumbie Rise is a Stewart Milne development set on the quiet north-eastern edge of the city, sitting alongside Ballumbie Castle Golf Course with open countryside not far beyond.
Kingsway East is five minutes by car, Broughty Ferry a short run further, and Dundee city centre easily reached.
Number thirty-eight is a semi-detached villa built in 2021, presented in excellent condition throughout and finished to a modern specification.
Entry is into a welcoming hallway with a downstairs WC set neatly to one side, painted in a deep green with brass detail that gives it real character.
The lounge sits to the front, a comfortable family room with warm wood flooring running through, well proportioned and quietly styled.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the house.
Pale cabinetry is arranged around a central breakfast bar with a stone-effect worktop, integrated appliances sit throughout, and French doors open directly onto the garden, drawing light through the whole room.
Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms lead off the landing.
The principal bedroom runs across the rear of the property with fitted wardrobes and an outlook over open countryside, served by its own en-suite shower room.
The two further bedrooms are both comfortably sized, and the family bathroom completes the upper floor, fully tiled with a modern white suite.
The rear garden enjoys a sunny orientation, with a generous paved terrace giving way to a lawn and a further sloped area of ground beyond, offering scope for a vegetable patch or extra planting space.
To the front, a private driveway provides off-street parking. Solar panels are fitted to the roof, and the property is warmed by gas central heating throughout with double glazing to all windows.
Thirty-eight Ballumbie Rise Gardens is a move-in ready family home in one of the city’s more peaceful modern settings. EPC Rating: B
