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.

The traditional kitchen also offers scope to modernise and has a door leading through to a useful rear porch, which could equally serve as a utility room, with access out to the rear garden beyond.
There are two bedrooms, the main bedroom a good size and bedroom two also well proportioned, the latter offering flexibility to be used as a separate dining room if preferred, together with a family bathroom.
Outside, the rear garden is completely enclosed and enjoys a good degree of privacy, with a lawn, garden shed and patio area.
The front garden is laid to lawn with mature trees and a path leading to the front door, with off road parking available.
