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
Guide Price £375,000 to £400,000 This beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home on Harrison Drive offers everything a modern family needs, all wrapped up in a peaceful St Mellons location that's hard to beat.
The quiet cul-de-sac means children can play safely outside, you're a ten-minute walk from Hendre Lake's scenic paths, and local shops and amenities are right on your doorstep.
Walk through the new front door into a welcoming hallway with handy under-stairs storage, and you'll immediately appreciate how well this house flows.
The recently renovated kitchen is the real showstopper-stylish reed green units paired with white marble-effect worktops create a fresh, contemporary look that won't date.
Bosch built-in oven and microwave come included, there's space for a big American fridge-freezer, and the plumbing's already in place for a boiling water tap if you fancy adding one.
The gas hob and extractor hood are perfect for proper cooking, whilst the breakfast bar island hides clever charging points to keep your phones and tablets powered up.
With room for a generous dining table and windows overlooking both front and rear gardens, this open-plan space gets natural light all day long.
Stylish floor tiles tie the kitchen into the hallway beautifully.
A separate utility room provides proper storage, as well as space for your washing machine and tumble dryer, with a back door leading directly out to the garden.
The downstairs cloakroom is smartly finished-essential for family life.
The living room is a generous twenty-footer with plush carpet, neutral walls, and elegant panelling on one wall that adds real character.
French doors open onto the garden, filling the space with light and letting you extend your living area outdoors when the weather's good.
There's satellite connectivity, plenty of power points, and even a gas outlet if you want to add a fire feature later.
The property already has fibre broadband installed delivering one gigabit speeds-perfect for working from home or streaming. The bright landing leads to four good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The main bedroom is a proper retreat with warm, relaxing décor, built-in mirrored wardrobes, and a wetroom en-suite that feels genuinely luxurious.
The full-tile wetroom features a double-head power shower with its own pump for excellent pressure, a touch-controlled demisting mirror with vanity lighting, a glass screen, and a moisture-sensing extractor.
Windows overlook the rear garden for a peaceful outlook. Bedroom two, decorated in soft duck egg blue, has full-length built-in wardrobes and TV cabling ready for wall mounting.
Bedroom three works perfectly as either a double bedroom or home office-flexible space that adapts to your needs.
The fourth bedroom currently makes a lovely study but could easily be a child's room, guest room, or dressing area.
The family bathroom matches the en-suite's quality with another double-head power shower on the same pump system, touch-controlled demisting mirror, glass screen, and a full-length bath for proper soaks.
Throughout the house, the décor is beautifully done-clean, neutral, and tasteful. You can move straight in or add your own touches gradually.
There's a tandem driveway leading to a garage at the side-proper parking that's increasingly rare.
The front garden has neat hedging for privacy, but the rear garden is where this property really shines.
The large garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a new natural stone patio that's perfect for barbecues, outdoor dining, or just catching the sun with a glass of wine.
The lawn is well-maintained and gives children and pets plenty of safe play space, whilst a flower bed along the back adds colour throughout the seasons.
Practical details include a screened water butt, exterior tap for your hosepipe, and space for growing vegetables or herbs if that's your thing. Location-wise, you're onto a winner.
Hendre Lake is 800 metres away for weekend walks and spotting wildlife, whilst shops, supermarkets, pubs, and garden centres are all nearby.
For commuting, you've got easy M4 access for Cardiff, Newport, or further afield, plus buses into Cardiff every fifteen minutes from a stop that's five minutes' walk away.
This is a family home that's ready to go-no renovations needed, no waiting around. Just move in and start living.
