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
Set within the historic village of Tongwynlais, this thoughtfully arranged terraced home offers a considered balance of character and practicality, extending across three floors to create a flexible and engaging living environment.
The ground floor unfolds with a welcoming entrance hall leading into a living room centred around a wood burning stove, creating a natural focal point for quieter evenings.
To the rear, the kitchen is bathed in natural light from skylights above and French doors that open directly onto the garden, establishing a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Upstairs, the first floor provides three well proportioned bedrooms alongside a bathroom, while the second floor introduces a more adaptable layout with an open study or sitting area leading through to the principal bedroom, offering a degree of separation suited to modern living.
