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
Situated in a prime Southsea location within the Thomas Ellis Owen Conservation area, this five bedroom semi-detached house enjoys many character features typical of the period (c.1934) including high ceilings, spacious rooms and large window openings which offer an abundance of light throughout the property.
Presented in good decorative order throughout, the generous accommodation will suit a family.
The internal accommodation comprises; a porch which gives way to a welcoming entrance hallway, well-lit from three tall windows along the stairs, a ground floor WC, a cosy bay-fronted lounge with period fire place and glazed bi-folding doors that lead to a formal dining room and another set of bi-folding doors through to the conservatory.
A fitted kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, a generous light-filled landing leads to two generous double bedrooms which could be interchangeable as the master depending on preference, another bedroom currently arranged as a home treatment room, a four-piece family bathroom, and separate WC.
On the second floor, two further bedrooms, both with a walk-in storage room. The rear garden is fence enclosed with gated side pedestrian access and is laid to patio for ease of maintenance.
