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.

To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of laminate wall and base units and provides space for an electric cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer.
A door from the kitchen offers direct access to the rear garden. Further benefits include excellent storage facilities with built-in cupboards within the hallway, as well as loft access via a hatch.
Externally, the property enjoys a well-maintained stone-chipped front garden with a flagged border and attractive rockery feature.
A generous driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached garage with power and lighting.
To the rear, the low-maintenance garden is predominantly flagstone paved and complemented by established planters filled with colourful mature plants.
Conveniently situated in Westgate, the property is within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities, including shops, schools and everyday services.
