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 elegant bay-fronted Victorian four-bedroom semi-detached townhouse with a huge south-facing garden, situated only a short walk from the town centre.
Built in 1900 and recently updated and improved, this wonderful Victorian townhouse offers newly decorated accommodation with a bright, airy atmosphere, excellent proportions, and high ceilings.
The house retains a wealth of original features including large sash windows, fireplaces, wooden flooring, and is offered with no onward chain.
A particularly unexpected feature is the exceptionally large south-facing garden, creating many opportunities and rarely found in townhouses so close to the town centre.
The accommodation, in brief, comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a door to the elegant sitting room, which features fabulous high ceilings, a fireplace with woodburner, polished wooden flooring, and a large sash bay window to the front aspect, flooding the room with light.
A pair of double doors opens to the dining room, creating an ideal space for entertaining, with stairs down to the converted cellar/study and an opening to the kitchen, which includes built-in appliances and a door to the garden.
On the first floor, the landing has stairs continuing to the second floor and leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
On the second floor is the principal bedroom, with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony that affords far-reaching views across the town.
Off this room is a large walk-in cupboard area and an en-suite shower room, completing the accommodation.
Outside - To the front is a traditional town garden set behind a red brick wall, with a quarry-tiled path leading to the front entrance.
Gated side access, used solely by this property, leads to the rear gardens. The rear gardens are a real surprise, extending to approximately 0.17 of an acre in total.
From the rear of the house, the gardens stretch around 170 ft to a much larger L-shaped area running behind the neighbouring properties, where there is a large timber shed/studio.
The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and stocked with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds. Adjacent to the house is a terrace enjoying the southerly aspect.
Location - The property enjoys a delightul setting along a no-through road within a short stroll to the town centre. Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk is a unique and dazzling historic gem.
An important market town with a richly fascinating heritage, the striking combination of medieval architecture, elegant Georgian squares and glorious Cathedral and Abbey gardens provide a distinctive visual charm.
With prestigious shopping, an award-winning market, plus a variety of attractions and places to stay, Bury St Edmunds is under two hours from London and very convenient for Cambridge.
