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.

This room could alternatively be used as a ground floor bedroom, if required. The dining room is centrally positioned and links conveniently to the kitchen/breakfast room.
The kitchen extends to approximately 19’ in length and is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, offering space for appliances and a breakfast table.
Large windows and a glazed door overlook and open onto the rear garden. The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom is well proportioned and bright.
