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
An impressive extended five-bedroom detached family home, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac and conveniently located within easy reach of Harpenden town centre, the Thameslink station, and a selection of highly regarded local schools.
Situated at the end of a private road, this attractive home benefits from a garage, beautifully maintained gardens, and spacious, versatile accommodation throughout.
A generous paved driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to the welcoming entrance.
The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room, thoughtfully extended to create a superb living and entertaining space.
Featuring a triple-aspect design and an elegant glazed bay extension, the room enjoys an abundance of natural light and wonderful views across the garden.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed with high-quality cabinetry, marble worktops, integrated appliances, and engineered wood flooring.
The dining and family areas are equally impressive, with bay windows to both the front and rear elevations, roof lanterns, and a charming log-burning stove that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Further ground-floor accommodation includes a spacious living room with feature fireplace, a separate bay-fronted bedroom/family room, a fitted utility room, and a stylish guest shower room.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with en-suite shower room, complemented by a contemporary family shower room.
Outside, the sunny rear garden provides an excellent setting for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Predominantly laid to lawn, it is bordered by mature planting, well-stocked flower beds, and established hedgerows.
A large patio, gazebo-covered seating area ideal for al fresco dining, and a timber garden office/summer house complete this delightful outdoor space.
Westfield Avenue is a marvellous location in the heart of Harpenden offering a pleasant assortment of characterful homes predominantly built in the 1920's and 1930's.
These new homes are built in a classic style to compliment the architecture of the road.
Approximately half a mile to Harpenden's mainline station providing access to St Pancras in less than 30 minutes.
The home is also ideally located for Harpenden's abundant riches for schooling: Sir John Lawes Secondary School and Manland jmi are both within a few minutes' walk of the house and St George's is also a short stroll away.
The open spaces of the Lea Valley nature reserve are close by with a fine park and charming walks down both the river and the public footpaths that were once the Swan Line railway and Nickey Line are also nearby.
A wonderful setting for family life!
