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
Set on the northern edge of Elgin, this modern detached home has four bedrooms, a bright kitchen dining area and the added benefit of an integral garage.
Built around eight years ago, it has a practical layout that suits family life, with a finish that’s easy to live with from the outset.
To the front, there’s a small lawn with a loc-bloc driveway providing parking for two cars in front of the integral garage.
You step inside into the hallway where light grey patterned wallpaper and white finishes keep things neutral.
Impressive dark wooden flooring runs underfoot in here and continues through much of the ground floor.
It’s a welcoming introduction to the home, with a consistent look that carries through into the main living areas. To the front, the lounge is a comfortable room.
White walls keep it bright, while the same dark flooring adds warmth. A large window looks out to the front, and with two radiators in place, the room is well set up to stay cosy.
There’s plenty of space here for a full sofa setup without feeling tight, making it an easy room to settle into.
At the end of the hallway, the kitchen and dining area opens up into an even more social space.
The kitchen itself is finished with white cabinets and grey worktops, with slim grey tone tiling running along the splashbacks to tie it all together.
A built-in oven sits below the gas hob, with a matching extractor hood above. The same dark wooden flooring continues through, giving the space a sense of flow from the hallway.
There’s room in here for a family dining table and chairs, meaning meals are well catered for.
The large glazed French doors, with tall windows either side, bring in plenty of natural light while opening directly out to the garden.
Just off the kitchen, the ground floor WC is neatly tucked away. It’s a compact but useful space, with a corner sink, toilet, slim frosted window and a small radiator.
It’s finished with the same flooring as the rest of the ground floor for continuity.
Travelling upstairs, the staircase is finished with a grey, black and white striped carpet that continues across the landing, adding a bit of contrast against the otherwise neutral décor.
The master bedroom sits to the front of the home and is a good sized double room. White walls and light grey carpet keep it simple and bright, while a large window brings in natural light.
A built-in wardrobe with white wooden doors provides storage. The room also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
This is fitted with a shower enclosure housing a mains shower, along with a sink and toilet, making it the perfect addition for busy households.
Bedroom two sits to the rear and is another comfortable double room, finished with white walls and grey carpet. A window looks out over the garden, with a radiator positioned beneath.
The third bedroom offers similar proportions, again a double room with neutral décor, light grey carpet and a rear-facing window. Bedroom four sits at the front, just off the top of the stairs.
Slightly smaller, it works well as a bedroom, study or home office. It’s currently set up as a workspace, showing how easily it can adapt, with a window bringing in light and a radiator beneath.
The main bathroom is set up for family use, with a bath fitted with a shower over and a screen to the side. A pedestal sink and toilet sit on the external wall.
The room has white tiling around the bath area and white painted walls elsewhere, keeping it clean and bright.
A frosted window brings in natural light, while a large mirror above the sink adds a practical touch. Outside, the property continues to offer a good balance of space.
The rear garden has been kept simple and usable, with a small patio area just outside the house, ideal for outdoor seating, and a lawn beyond.
Timber fencing encloses the space, giving a sense of privacy without adding maintenance.
