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
Occupying a generous position on Elmfield Avenue, this substantial semi-detached home offers excellent family accommodation arranged across three floors, with versatile living space, five bedrooms and an attractive enclosed rear garden.
The ground floor provides a particularly practical layout, with a spacious bay-fronted living room alongside a separate snug, giving families the flexibility of two distinct reception spaces.
To the rear, the kitchen/diner provides plenty of room for dining and everyday family life, with direct access to the garden. A downstairs WC and integral garage complete the ground floor.
Four bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, served by both a contemporary family bathroom and separate shower room.
The second floor is dedicated to an impressive principal bedroom, creating a substantial private space away from the main bedroom accommodation.
Outside, a wide driveway provides generous off-street parking and access to the integral garage.
The enclosed rear garden is a real feature of the home, combining a generous lawn with attractive seating and paved areas, creating several distinct spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing.
A timber garden store provides useful additional storage.
Elmfield Avenue is particularly well positioned for family life, sitting close to Heworth Golf Club and offering easy access to Monks Cross and Vangarde Shopping Park, with their wide range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
York’s outer ring road is readily accessible for travel further afield, while the city centre is also within easy reach.
Combining substantial accommodation, flexible living space and an excellent rear garden, this is a highly adaptable home particularly well suited to growing or established families looking for space and convenience in York.
