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
A five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow with ground floor shower room, living/kitchen/family/dining area, utility room, two bedrooms, family room to ground floor and three bedrooms, bathroom and en-suite to first floor, front and substantially long rear garden, 22ft garden office and garage with driveway parking for several cars.
Backing directly onto Woodland Trust land, this deceptively spacious family home offers an impressive amount of accommodation, with five well-proportioned bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous open-plan living space downstairs.
The ground floor is designed for modern family living, with large bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden.
Further benefits include a substantial 22ft garden office adjoining the garage, providing an excellent space for home working, hobbies or additional recreational use.
With its surprisingly spacious interior, excellent bedroom accommodation and attractive woodland setting, this is a truly versatile home that offers far more than first impressions might suggest.
