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
This charming, detached property enjoys an ideal position in the heart of Croston Village, just a stone’s throw from highly regarded schools, local amenities, beautiful walks, and nearby parks.
Thoughtfully designed for modern family living, the property features a bright and welcoming hallway leading into a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.
With four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious master suite across the second floor and a delightful rear garden, this home offers a wonderful space for a family to grow.
A warm welcome… The bright and inviting entrance hallway first welcomes into the property. This is finished with an oak flooring and has a panelled door leading to the two-piece w.c.
This features a wall-mounted wash hand basin, close-coupled w.c., towel rail and an opaque window to the front elevation with tiling both to the floor and splashback areas.
The hallway also benefits from access into a useful understairs storage cupboard, ideal for everyday essentials.
Where living happens… The hallway opens into a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area.
The initial space forms the kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units in a soft, neutral tone, complemented by corian worktops with matching upstands.
Integrated appliances include a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, AEG combination microwave with oven and grill beneath and a gas hob with extractor hood above.
A one-and-a-half inset sink unit with etched drainer is set beneath a rear-facing window enjoying views over the garden.
Opposite the kitchen lies a generous dining area with bi-folding doors opening to the garden and allowing for blended indoor-outdoor living.
The space flows naturally into the living area which has ample room for furnishings centred around the television point to the side.
A bay window to the front provides an attractive feature and enhances the room’s natural light. Soak and sleep… The first-floor landing gives way to three bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom.
A recessed area, currently utilised as a study and making excellent use of the available space, features a front-facing window and pendant light.
Bedrooms number two and three are both good-sized rooms with space for a double bed and a window to the front and rear respectively.
Bedroom four is a single-sized room with a window to the rear and central pendant light. The family bathroom is a stylish and contemporary space, fully tiled in a light neutral tone.
It features a panelled bath, separate shower cubicle with monsoon head and glazed doors to enclose, a wall-mounted wash hand basin, close-coupled w.c. And chrome heated towel rail.
A restful retreat… Occupying the second floor, the master suite offers a spacious and well-appointed room with fitted wardrobes and shelving along one wall, complemented by a Velux window which provides natural light.
The en suite features a modern three-piece suite comprising a shower with glazed sliding doors and monsoon head, wall-mounted wash hand basin, close-coupled w.c., and chrome heated towel rail.
An additional Velux window and recessed downlights complete the space.
The blooming hour… Stepping out of the property, a generous patio area provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, beyond which a central lawn is framed by neatly flagged pathways, raised sleepers filled with planting, and decorative shale areas.
A good-sized storage shed exists to the corner, approached via a flagged stepping path. The garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing, with a timber gate offering access to the front of the property.
On your doorstep… Living at 4 School Close presents the perfect blend of village charm and everyday convenience.
