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
Located on Parkside Drive in the highly sought-after Cassiobury estate, this extended four bedroom semi-detached family home is offered for sale with no onward chain.
Occupying a generous plot backing directly onto Cassiobury Park, the property has been lovingly maintained by the current owner while offering significant scope to modernise and further extend to the side, rear, and into the loft, subject to the usual consents.
You are welcomed by a spacious entrance hallway leading to the dining room which is complemented by a large bay window.
This flows through to the living room which enjoys views over and direct access to the impressive rear garden.
There is a generously sized kitchen with ample room for dining, as well as a separate space currently used as a store and utility room. A guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which opens onto a delightful terrace offering panoramic views over Cassiobury Park.
A family bathroom and separate WC are accessed from the landing. Externally, the property benefits from a mature front garden and a driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
To the rear is a superb south-facing garden, beautifully framed by established flowerbeds, trees, and hedging. Further benefits include double glazing, gas central heating, and a garage.
Perfectly positioned on Parkside Drive, the property is within easy walking distance of the award-winning Cassiobury Park, highly regarded Cassiobury Infant and Junior Schools, local shops, the vibrant town centre, and excellent transport links via Watford Junction and Watford Metropolitan Line stations.
