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
A well presented and extended 3-bed home with driveway parking, generous garden, detached workshop, covered seating area and studio/office.
This well-presented and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home offers stylish modern living, generous outdoor space and the convenience of driveway parking.
Built in the 1960s with brick and pebble-dash elevations beneath a tiled roof, the property has been tastefully updated in recent years, including a practical side extension that introduces a striking double-height entrance hall and immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house.
From the entrance hall, there is access to a utility room, cloakroom and the former entrance lobby.
The hall also leads through to the south-facing sitting room, a bright and welcoming space featuring a woodburner set within an attractive fireplace.
To the rear of the property lies the appealing open-plan kitchen and dining area, enjoying lovely views over the sunny garden.
The kitchen is very well appointed, offering a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a four-ring electric hob with extractor, an eye-level electric double oven and integrated appliances including a dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor, where there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles.
All rooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with a panelled bath and overhead shower.
The property benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas-fired central heating and is presented throughout in good order.
