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
Are you searching for a charming period cottage at the very heart of one of Worcestershire's most sought-after villages? Look no further.
Tucked away in the centre of the idyllic village of Alvechurch, this characterful two-bedroom semi-detached cottage is full of personality and potential.
Available with no onward chain, it offers an exciting opportunity for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a genuinely special home in a genuinely special place.
The home itself has been thoughtfully maintained and exudes all the warmth you'd hope for from a period property.
Step inside and the welcoming lounge immediately sets the tone, where a feature log burner sits within an exposed brick chimney breast, complemented by dual aspect windows that draw the light in from the front and side.
It's the kind of room you can picture yourself in on a winter evening.
The kitchen is clean and contemporary, with sleek fitted units, solid wood countertops and a classic quarry tile floor that nods to the cottage's heritage without feeling dated.
A hallway leads through to a modern ground floor bathroom, complete with shower over bath, with a side door opening out to the wraparound garden beyond.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms both enjoy attractive exposed timber floorboards, while the principal bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows and fitted wardrobes.
Outside, the wraparound garden offers a lovely blend of paved patio, lawn and planted borders ideal for entertaining.
A timber shed provides useful storage and a side access gate connects back to the front of the property.
Importantly for those with vision, the neighbouring property has already set a strong precedent by completing a wraparound extension of their own, meaning there is genuine scope to significantly extend this home to the side and rear (subject to planning), while still retaining excellent outside space.
It's a rare combination of charm today and potential for tomorrow. On parking, the village car park directly opposite is free to use and well-placed for day-to-day life.
Our agents say: "What really makes this property stand out is the address.
Alvechurch is one of those villages that has everything, with ofsted Outstanding schools including nursery, primary and middle, a thriving cricket club, a sports and recreation ground, independent shops, medical and dental practices, and a fantastic selection of pubs and restaurants.
The Weighbridge by the marina is a favourite, and the canal itself is a wonderful asset for weekend walks and family days out.
Despite feeling wonderfully rural, with the Worcestershire countryside on your doorstep and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal just a stroll away, you are incredibly well connected.
The train station gives you direct links into Redditch, Birmingham city centre and the University of Birmingham, and the M42 is close by for wider travel.
For a first-time buyer, a young family, or anyone looking to downsize without compromising on quality of life, this cottage ticks every box."
