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
Description This beautifully refurbished 1930s semi-detached family home offers light-filled and generously proportioned accommodation in a highly sought-after cul-de-sac, just a short walk from the rd&E Hospital.

The ground floor includes a welcoming hallway with space for coats and shoes, three inviting reception rooms-one of which could easily serve as a further bedroom-together with a contemporary fitted kitchen, a convenient cloakroom, and direct access to a versatile garden office.
The living room is enhanced by a charming original feature fireplace and custom New England-style blinds, while the dining room includes original cupboards and opens into a study/bedroom with access to the rear garden.
The kitchen is superbly appointed with integrated appliances, under-unit lighting, a pantry, and adjoining cloakroom facilities.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three generously sized double bedrooms, a comfortable single bedroom, and a stylish family bathroom with a rainfall shower, vanity basin, and underfloor heating.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a dressing table, while bedroom five provides an excellent single or office space with dual-aspect windows.
