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 ensuite, family bathroom and ground floor WC have all been recently upgraded to a high specification, enhancing the quality finish found throughout the home.
Externally, the property is every bit as impressive as the accommodation within.
The beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens feature manicured front lawns with colourful floral borders and an attractive rockery, while the rear has been thoughtfully designed for outdoor living with a spacious patio, steps leading down to a further garden area, an additional patio, lawn and a decked seating area.
The current owners advise the rear garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day, creating a wonderful sun trap that is perfect for entertaining family and friends or providing a safe space for children to play.
