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
Beautifully presented and finished to an excellent standard, this pretty mid-terrace character property offers the perfect blend of traditional features and modern living.
Located in a sought-after residential road, it features a traditional fitted kitchen and bathroom, bright living areas, and a good-sized loft room. A sunny courtyard garden has been well-maintained.
Ideally positioned just moments from local shops, amenities, and Apsley mainline station offering fast, direct links into London Euston.
Ground Floor - The front door opens directly into a reception room featuring oak flooring, a bare brick fireplace with heavy oak beam mantel, and a functional wood burner.
This leads into a dining room, also with oak flooring and fitted window shutters, which connects through to the kitchen.
The spacious kitchen features a range-style cooker set into a former brick chimney breast, and provides direct access to the sunny rear garden.
First Floor - On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, both with fitted window shutters.
A beautiful Victorian-style bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, a high-level WC, a fireplace, and a wash hand basin set over a chest of drawers looks out to the garden.
From the landing, a loft ladder leads up to a bright loft room with skylights and eaves storage.
The Location - The local area of Apsley is an outer district of Hemel Hempstead and is still a busy commercial centre.
The Victorian shops that grew up when it was a mill town now house newsagents, public houses, restaurants, and a range of small businesses.
The former mill sites are taken up with supermarkets, retail parks and offices.
Housing developments combining the canal side location with the ease of access to Apsley railway station (offering direct access to London Euston) have been very successful.
