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
Situated within a prime and highly sought-after location of Leighton Buzzard, and just a short distance from the mainline station, this extended 1930’s four bedroom semi-detached family home offers generous and versatile accommodation, rich in character and history.
Built in 1937, the property has had only two owners since new, with the current vendors having cherished the home over 50 years.
Entry is via an entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor.
The extended lounge provides an excellent main living space, featuring a characterful gas-fired fireplace and patio doors opening onto the south-facing composite deck and rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
A separate dining room offers further reception space, ideal for entertaining.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units with space for appliances, complemented by a separate utility room for added practicality.
A ground floor home office and cloakroom complete the downstairs accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family life.
The adjacent side entrance features a stable door providing flexible ventilation on hot days.
Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three generous double bedrooms, served by both a family bathroom, which features a whirlpool bath, and a separate family shower room.
An additional home office provides valuable extra space and could alternatively be used as a small bedroom if required.
The large loft, which has extensive insulation and a large proportion boarded, is accessible by means of a hatch and pull-down ladder located at the top of the stairs.
Externally, the substantial rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and enjoys a patio seating area along with a the composite decking area accessed directly from the lounge.
Mature flower beds, including a well-established apple tree, enhance the charm and privacy of the outdoor space.
To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with access to the garage and rear garden.
Further benefits include 10 owned solar panels on the south-facing roof generating electricity and an additional solar panel dedicated to water heating, supplementing the gas central heating system.
