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 plot on Rampton Road and backing onto open paddock land, this attractive double-fronted home built in 1929 combines period character with spacious and versatile accommodation.
The ground floor is arranged in a traditional double-fronted layout, with two reception rooms positioned at the front of the property.
Both rooms feature hardwood flooring, picture rails and working cast-iron fireplaces, retaining much of the property's original charm.
The right-hand reception room leads through to the extended kitchen/dining room, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a Rangemaster cooker with extractor hood, tiled splashbacks, a stainless-steel sink and exposed ceiling beams.
The dining area offers ample space for a six to eight-seater table and benefits from two Velux windows and French doors opening onto the rear garden.
A separate utility room provides additional worktop space with cupboard below, a sink, plumbing for appliances and the gas-fired combination boiler, replaced approximately six months ago.
The utility room also offers a second access point to the garden, while a cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
A large conservatory is accessed via double doors from both the left-hand reception room and the kitchen, creating a versatile additional living space with further French doors opening onto the garden.
On the first floor are three generous bedrooms, all featuring hardwood flooring.
The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from a fully tiled en-suite shower room with walk-in shower.
Bedroom Two features a cast-iron fireplace and a dual-aspect outlook with views to both the front and rear, while Bedroom Three includes a built-in wardrobe.
A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. Outside, a gravel driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles and contains mature hedging.
The private west-facing rear garden is a particular feature of the property, enjoying a generous plot with a mature lawn, established trees and shrubs, a patio seating area, timber summer house, a separate timber workshop, tool shed, and a greenhouse.
