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
Standing proudly on Drury Avenue, this is undoubtedly one of those homes that catches your eye from the moment you arrive.
Set behind an attractive walled frontage with gated driveway, the property's striking Tudor-style timber detailing and impressive kerb appeal make it a true stand-out on the street.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this substantial five-bedroom detached family home combines character, generous proportions and outstanding potential, presenting a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create their forever home.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this substantial family home presents an increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a property with outstanding proportions, exceptional outside space and enormous scope to modernise and personalise for years to come.
Stepping inside, you're welcomed by an impressive entrance hall which immediately sets the tone for the generous accommodation throughout, with a central staircase rising to the first floor.
To the front of the property sits a wonderfully spacious dual-aspect living room.
Flooded with natural light thanks to its large bay window and additional side window, this recently replastered room offers flexible living, with ample space for both lounge and dining furniture if desired.
Already prepared and ready for decoration, it's the perfect blank canvas for its next owners. An additional inner hallway leads through to the heart of the home — the kitchen diner.
Wider than a traditional galley kitchen, this practical space comfortably accommodates a family dining table whilst offering excellent potential to remodel into a stunning contemporary kitchen should the new owners wish.
To the rear, the property continues to impress with a highly versatile reception room currently utilised as a home gym.
Equally suited as a family room, playroom or additional lounge, double doors open directly onto the rear patio creating an ideal connection between inside and out during the warmer months.
From here you'll also find a useful utility room, currently doubling as a home office, together with a convenient downstairs WC. The first floor offers three particularly generous double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom enjoys lovely dual-aspect windows overlooking the rear garden, creating a bright and peaceful retreat. The second double bedroom enjoys a pleasant front aspect.
The third bedroom is particularly unique, offering a fantastic multi-functional layout with the main sleeping area opening into an additional space previously used as a study and playroom.
With windows to both the front and rear, this flexible arrangement would be perfect for older children wanting their own study area, a home office, dressing room or hobby space.
The second floor provides two further bedrooms, both offering excellent flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation or home working.
One has recently been replastered and is ready for the new owner to finish to their own taste. Outside is where this property truly excels.
The rear garden is exceptionally private, beautifully established and significantly larger than many modern homes can offer.
A generous patio spans the rear of the property, creating the perfect entertaining space, before giving way to an extensive lawn stretching towards the bottom of the garden.
Whether you're dreaming of a summer house, home office, workshop or simply a wonderful family garden, the possibilities here are endless.
The garage is accessed from both the driveway and rear garden, providing excellent storage or further potential.
While the property would benefit from modernisation throughout, it offers an exciting opportunity to create something truly special.
Whether sympathetically updating the existing accommodation or exploring future extension possibilities (subject to the necessary planning permissions), this is a home capable of adapting to family life for many years to come.
