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
Summary This newly renovated detached family home offers generous and versatile accommodation, combining stylish modern finishes with a number of charming original features.
The property has been thoughtfully renovated to create a spacious and practical home, ideal for modern family living.
Description Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright entrance hall, finished with luxury herringbone vinyl flooring which continues throughout the majority of the ground floor.
To the left is a dedicated study, providing the perfect space for those working from home, while to the right is a versatile second reception room which could be utilised as a playroom, snug or even a fifth bedroom if required.
Continuing through the hallway is a generous WC, fitted with a vanity unit, close-coupled WC and heated towel rail.
The hallway then opens into the impressive main lounge, featuring an exposed brick entrance and attractive focal fireplace.
The fireplace has intentionally been left ready for the new owners to install a log burner of their choice.
French doors open directly onto the rear patio, creating a wonderful connection between the living space and garden. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the fantastic open-plan kitchen/diner.
This spacious room is ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Impressive triple bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, while original double doors provide access to the side garden and a further side door incorporates a cat flap.
The brand-new kitchen is fitted with stylish shaker-style units with a large central island providing an excellent focal point, additional preparation space and a sociable area for family and guests to gather.
A range of integrated appliances, including an induction hob with extractor, eye-level double oven and dishwasher.
There is also space for an American-style fridge/freezer, along with solid wood shelving providing additional storage.
The kitchen benefits from access to a separate utility room, fitted with matching units, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink and a wall-mounted boiler.
From the kitchen/diner, stairs rise to the first floor where there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own modern ensuite, finished with stylish brushed brass fittings.
The ensuite comprises a large walk-in shower with rain head, vanity basin with marble-effect top, close-coupled WC and heated towel rail.
There is also a useful airing cupboard housing the water heating system.
The family bathroom is equally well appointed, featuring a three-piece suite comprising an L-shaped bath with overhead rain head shower, vanity basin with marble-effect top and WC.
Brushed brass fittings and a heated towel rail complete the contemporary finish.
Outside, the property is approached via a newly laid porcelain pathway leading to the front entrance, with gated side access.
There is private off-road parking to the rear, in addition to ample on-street parking available to the front.
The rear garden is a particularly impressive feature, offering a generous amount of private outdoor space.
A newly laid porcelain patio provides an excellent area for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn.
The garden also benefits from several established fruit trees, including two apple trees and a pear tree.
To the rear is an outbuilding, currently providing useful additional storage but offering excellent potential for conversion into a home office, studio, gym or other versatile space, subject to any necessary permissions.
