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 substantial and very splendid Victorian semi-detached property occupying a highly convenient location, being within a short walk of the town centre and the wide open spaces of West Park.
This is quite simply a lovely family home offering beautifully proportioned rooms with high ceilings and a wealth of period features.
The ground floor features an impressive entrance hall, a bay-fronted lounge featuring a cast-iron stove, a separate dining room, and a contemporary extended dining kitchen with direct access to the garden.
There is also a cloakroom and a utility room.
On the first floor, the property offers a spacious principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, along with three further bedrooms (one of which is accessed via another) and a family bathroom.
The second floor provides a generous fifth bedroom. The basement has been tanked and heated, creating practical storage and utility spaces.
A standout feature of the home is the stylish kitchen extension, thoughtfully designed as the perfect setting for gatherings and celebrations, offering a warm and welcoming space to entertain family and friends.
The property has a slightly elevated position, with a walled front garden and a gated path to the front door.
The rear garden is delightful and with a southerly aspect catches the best of the afternoon and evening sun. Predominantly laid to lawn, there are well-stocked beds and a patio.
To the rear boundary, there is access to Victoria Road, where a double-width driveway and garage provide parking for up to four cars.
