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 sitting room enjoys the light from the bay window to the front, with the fireplace providing the focal point of the room and further character features including cornicing and a picture rail.
The dining room is to the rear, with an open fireplace and doors leading out into the garden.
This room has tiled flooring and between the cornicing and picture rail, is a beautiful, decorative frieze.

A paved patio stretches across the rear of the house, with doors from the dining room and is a sheltered space, bathed in sunshine throughout the morning to early afternoon.
