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
Set within the prestigious gated Waterside development and designed and built by the renowned local Black Hawk Developers, this outstanding five-bedroom detached family home occupies one of the area's most enviable positions.
Enjoying breathtaking views across the quay, the historic 1860’s bridge and rolling countryside from almost every room, this is a home that effortlessly combines luxury, space and an unrivalled waterside lifestyle.
A welcoming entrance hall with beautiful stone flooring immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout the home.
Leading to the left off the entrance hall, the elegant living room is flooded with natural light and enjoys wonderful views across the quay, and has French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully designed for modern living and entertaining.
The bespoke handcrafted kitchen features a substantial central island with solid wood worktop and extensive storage.
A comprehensive range of premium integrated appliances includes a full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, Neff single oven and combination oven, induction hob and gas hob.
Finishing it off beautifully is a Belfast sink, a wine fridge and Silestone worktops.
The kitchen also offers French doors to the garden and internal access to the double garage, which has been partially converted to create a practical utility area.
Completing the ground floor is a tastefully styled cloakroom, fitted in 2022, together with useful understairs storage.
The first floor hosts an impressive principal suite, complete with a dressing room and en-suite bathroom.
Two further generously proportioned double bedrooms enjoy spectacular elevated views, complemented by a beautifully appointed contemporary shower room, also installed in 2022.
The second floor provides two additional good sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The front bedroom is particularly special, benefiting from dual-aspect panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, creating an incredibly peaceful setting.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with mature borders and a generous patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A gated driveway provides off-road parking, while the double garage with electric doors, offers further secure parking, and valuable storage which has been cleverly transformed from the loft space.
In addition, the current owners have just had a EV charger fitted. The setting of this exceptional home is truly one of its defining features.
Surrounded by beautiful waterside scenery and abundant wildlife, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both tranquillity and convenience.
For those looking to embrace the waterfront lifestyle, residents also have the opportunity to rent a private mooring on the quay, making this an outstanding home for boating enthusiasts.
Homes of this calibre and in such a remarkable setting are rarely available.
An internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate the quality, space and spectacular surroundings this unique property has to offer.
