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
Occupying a peaceful corner plot at the end of Brookfield’s cul-de-sac in Mawdesley, this extended detached home offers generously proportioned and well-maintained accommodation throughout.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, spacious reception room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen, utility and family bathroom.
Upstairs, four good-sized, double bedrooms are served by a further shower room.
Outside, the meticulously maintained gardens to both the front and rear are a particular delight, with the south-west facing rear garden thoughtfully arranged to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day.
Driveway parking and an attached single garage with an automatic door complete this lovely village home. A peaceful position… Tucked away, No.

The front door, featuring opaque glazed insets within and a panel to the side, opens into a welcoming hallway where high ceilings create an immediate sense of space.
The staircase rises to the first floor, with a useful understairs storage cupboard complete with lighting beneath.
Wood-effect flooring continues along the hallway towards the kitchen at the rear of the property.
Home for tea… Positioned at the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of white wall and base units, complemented by complementary worktops and tiled splashbacks.
Integrated appliances include a refrigerator and an electric cooker with a hooded extractor above, whilst a stainless-steel sink unit with etched drainer to the side sits beneath the window overlooking the garden.
Fluorescent strip lighting offers further illumination, as well undercounter lighting which lends a softer ambience.
There is also space to accommodate a small breakfast table for more informal dining.
The adjoining utility room is a particularly generous and practical extension of the kitchen, continuing the same cabinetry to provide plenty of additional storage and worktop space.
There is an automatic washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer and the gas central heating boiler. A window and external door open straight onto the rear garden.
Cosy on down… The principal reception room is both comforting and generously proportioned, with a large window and additional opaque glazed panel allowing natural light to filter through.
A marble hearth provides a focal point with space above for an electric fire, whilst a television point is positioned to one side.
Sliding doors connect the reception room to the adjoining dining area, allowing the two spaces to be enjoyed separately or opened up when entertaining.
A contemporary vertical column radiator adds a modern touch, whilst a glazed sliding door leads onwards into the conservatory.
Enjoying views across the garden, the conservatory offers an additional living space, whether used as a second sitting room, playroom or simply somewhere to settle with a morning coffee and a good book.
Surrounded by glazing, the room makes the most of its garden outlook and the changing seasons, with tiled flooring and an electric radiator allowing for comfortable, year-round use.
Patio doors open directly onto the garden, creating an easy connection between indoors and out.
A generously proportioned family bathroom completes the ground-floor accommodation, fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a bathtub, separate shower with glazed sliding doors and monsoon shower head, a pedestal wash hand basin with wall-mounted mirrored vanity above, and a close-coupled w.c.
Tiling to splash areas an opaque window, chrome heated towel rail and ample floor space complete the room.
And so, to bed… Rising to the first floor, the staircase provides a pleasant transition between the two levels, with an opaque window to the side drawing natural light into the space.
The landing gives access to all four bedrooms and the shower room.
Occupying one side of the property, the principal bedroom is generous in its proportions, enjoying a dual-aspect outlook with windows overlooking both the front and rear.
The room offers ample flexibility for the arrangement of bedroom furniture, whilst access to the loft space is also provided here.
The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, positioned to the rear of the property and benefiting from fitted wardrobes.
Bedroom three enjoys a front-facing aspect and comfortably accommodates a double bed, fitted wardrobes, storage and a desk.
The fourth and final bedroom is also a double room, with a window to the rear and space for the arrangement of furniture, making it equally suitable as a bedroom or home office.
The first-floor shower room is fitted with a suite comprising a shower enclosure with glazed bi-folding doors, a pedestal wash hand basin and close-coupled w.c.
Vinyl flooring and tiling to dado height and splash areas provide a practical finish, whilst a chrome heated towel rail completes the room.
A garden to follow the sun… Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, the beautifully maintained rear garden has been thoughtfully planned to make the most of the sunshine throughout the day, with a choice of seating areas positioned to enjoy its changing light.
Immediately adjoining the property, a paved patio with decorative edging provides a lovely spot for outdoor dining, framed by neatly tended planting beds which bring colour and interest to the space.
A red shale pathway leads through the garden towards a further seating area tucked into the left-hand corner, where additional paving provides space for an arrangement of pots and planters or furniture.
Manicured borders and bark-covered beds are filled with seasonal planting, whilst established trees along the rear boundary lend a welcome sense of privacy.
To the opposite side, a further patio offers another place to sit and enjoy the surroundings, with space nearby for a garden storage shed.
There is also access to the attached, single garage via a rear personnel door.
The garage itself benefits from an opaque window, overhead lighting and an up-and-over door opening onto the driveway at the front.
Step into village life… The historic village of Mawdesley, thought to date back to the reign of Edward I (1272–1308), has a vibrant heart with many local events taking place such as The Village Fete and also the Traditional Walking Day.
At the heart of the village is a brilliantly stocked Spar general store and post office whilst sporting facilities include cricket, tennis and bowling clubs and the excellent village hall.
There are three fishing ponds at Crook Hall Farm along with two beautifully presented shops, The Bay Tree Flower Farm & Hattie Smalls for hats and lingerie.
A further great draw to the village is the wonderful and established Cedar Farm Gallery offering a wide variety of artisan stores to wander through and having a children’s’ farm and play centre alongside.
For commuters, there are excellent bus routes accessed from the village centre as well as the available road transport links.
