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
Looking for your next project? In need of modernisation, this four-bedroom detached home offers fantastic potential (STPP) and sits on a wider-than-average plot.
Approached via a private driveway leading to a detached double garage, Orchard House originally dates back to the mid 1800’s and was one of the first homes built on Potash Road.
The property benefits from a unique wedge-shaped plot, providing a larger-than-expected garden. The main front door opens into an open-plan entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor.
From here, an open-plan sitting room provides access to the remaining reception spaces.
The heart of the home is the rear extension, which offers excellent scope to create a superb open-plan kitchen and family room (STPP).
There is currently a working kitchen with a door leading to the side of the property, along with an open-plan sitting/dining room.
To the front of the home is a snug and a separate office/study, with a shower room accessed from the office.
To the first floor are four good-sized bedrooms, two of which are currently usable, with two requiring finishing. There is also a generous bathroom that requires fitting.
The garden is a true hidden gem, offering outstanding potential for an entertaining space, children’s play area, or a tranquil adult retreat.
While in need of a full overhaul, both the garden and the property present an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful family home. Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN. Viewing is highly recommended.
Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support: A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
The service also provides access to an unlimited legal advice helpline staffed by qualified solicitors to assist with any questions you may have during your moving journey, and Mover Protection which is designed to help recoup certain costs if your sale or purchase falls through through no fault of your own (terms and limits apply).
