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.

A charming private front garden creates a wonderful first impression and leads directly to the property's completely private main door entrance, providing a level of privacy and independence seldom found within traditional West End conversions.
The garden is one of the property’s finest characteristics, offering a lovely outdoor space to sit out with friends, bring on potted plants and take in the lovely peaceful atmosphere of Dowanhill.
