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 superb two bedroom semi detached home occupying a sought after village position, offering well proportioned and immaculately presented accommodation throughout.
It also offers, in our opinion, scope to extend/enlarge (STPP).
The property is approached via a hard standing driveway, whilst internally you are welcomed by an entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor.
To the right hand side is the principal reception room, the living room, beautifully decorated in neutral tones to create a warm and inviting feel.
Beyond here is the kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of floor and wall mounted units complemented by work surfaces over, whilst also providing space for a breakfast table and chairs.
The first floor landing leads to all accommodation on this level, including the master bedroom positioned to the front elevation and a second bedroom overlooking the rear garden, both of which are served by a family bathroom.
Externally, the particularly private rear garden is generous in size and features a paved patio area immediately as you step outside, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with deep borders stocked with an array of mature plants, shrubs and bushes.
The village of Barton-Le-Clay is a civil parish in the central Bedfordshire district bordering Hertfordshire, situated on the A6 corridor between the major towns of Luton and Bedford, sitting at the foot of The Chiltern hills, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The village offers a variety of commercial facilities to include a local shop, bakers, a number of public houses, restaurants and a Co-Op store.
The area operates on a three-tier academic system to include Ramsay Lower, Arnold Middle and Harlington Upper and Sixth Form College.
There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur Trust schools.
Leisure facilities include Barton playing fields, Barton Rovers FC and immediate access on to the Chilterns with a number of designated hiking routes.
Mainline services for the commuter depart from the Harlington or Flitwick platforms, with a direct route into London St Pancras taking approximately 35 and 40 minutes respectively.
The M1 motorway J12 is approximately a 20-minute drive from the village, whereas Luton Airport operates both domestic and international flights and is around a 25-minute drive.
