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.

NO CHAIN - HUGE POTENTIAL TO EXTEND - SET IN 1.3 ACRES Well maintained and presented Detached 1930's house. Set in approximately 1.3 acres with large level lawns and an area of woodland.
(Further woodland available by separate negotiation).
This house has been in the same family for nearly sixty years and is well looked after and updated, with original panelled doors and picture rails.
There is however, scope for improvement and extensions. The property is double glazed throughout with 1930's style windows in keeping with the facade of the house.
A traditional tiled porch with quarry tiled step leads to the front door and into the hallway, where there is a wall mounted entry phone for the electric gates.
The stairs rise to the right with turned balustrade and a useful understairs cupboard.
The sitting room used to be two rooms but now benefits from a double aspect with doors out to the patio to the rear of the house.
An open fireplace houses a wood burning stove and there is a door to the large Garden Room: Ideal for larger social gatherings, heated and carpeted with a solid roof, skylights and partially double glazed and brick elevations with doors to both the front and rear gardens.
The Kitchen/Breakfast room has been re-fitted with modern units in very recent years and now has extensive granite work surfaces, smooth soft close drawers and doors and barely used fitted dishwasher, Bosch electric microwave, grill, eye level oven and extractor hood.
In addition there are still the original tall built-in crockery cupboards, walk-in larder/cold room and broom cupboard.
The utility/boot room is large and has space for white goods and houses the Worcester Bosch wall mounted gas fired boiler and has a w.c. off. Door to the side of the house and driveway.
On the first floor there is a split landing with an archway through to the two smaller bedrooms. It may have been one large room originally.
The main bathroom has been modernised with a large walk-in shower, w.c., wash basin and built-in airing cupboard.
There are two larger double bedrooms, one of which has a range of built-in wardrobes, side tables, wall arch and dressing table with lovely view to the front and the other has two double cupboards and a duck's nest fireplace and a really lovely view over the garden and woodland.
Outside: The property is approached via electric, wrought iron gates hung from two brick pillars.
The driveway goes to the side of the house and around to a turning area to the rear, in front of a DOUBLE OPEN BARN GARAGE AND SINGLE LOCK UP GARAGE.

A Laurel hedge denotes the boundary to the left and to the right is a woodland. Further down the garden there is a lovely woodland with a variety of traditional English species.
