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 village of Lhanbryde, just a short drive from Elgin, this is a home that offers a strong mix of space and a layout that suits a range of buyers.
With a large kitchen designed around a central island, a bright living room that runs the full depth of the house and three double bedrooms upstairs, it’s a property that suits families, first-time buyers or anyone looking for a bit more room to spread out.
The living room is long, with two tall windows sitting side by side at the front with an additional window at the back looking out towards the garden.
The décor is soft and neutral, with light grey tones and a feature wall in a darker grey tartan pattern adding a bit of character.
There’s plenty of space here not just for seating, but also for a dining table if you wanted to use the room in a more flexible way. At the end of the hallway, the kitchen is a real highlight.
It’s a large, open space with units running along two walls, finished in light wood tones with grey worktops and matching splashbacks.
Sitting in the centre is a substantial island, offering a huge amount of workspace as well as room for seating, making it a natural place to gather.
The layout is practical too, with a double oven built into a tall unit and a gas hob set into the worktop, with extractor above.
There’s space below the counters for appliances while a door at the far end opens directly out to the garden.
Tucked neatly under the stairs is a ground floor WC, finished in a clean white style with tiled flooring, adding that extra bit of convenience for day to day use.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. The first bedroom sits at the front of the house and is a generous double, made even brighter by two windows.
The room is painted with light grey tones accompanied by a deep purple feature wall which adds contrast. Built-in wardrobe space takes care of storage, keeping the room uncluttered.
The second bedroom is another comfortable double, again benefiting from built-in storage with a wardrobe and additional cupboard finished in timber.
The neutral walls make it easy to adapt to different uses, whether as a bedroom, guest space or something more flexible.
The third bedroom continues the same theme, with light coloured walls, a large window bringing in natural light and simple detailing like white cornicing adding a tidy finish.
It’s another good sized double room that fits well within the overall layout. The bathroom is fitted with an L-shaped bath along one wall, with a shower above and a curtain to the side.
The walls around the bath are finished with light grey and white wetwall panels, while the rest of the room is tiled with painted sections above.
A large frosted window keeps the space bright while maintaining privacy, with a radiator below for warmth.
Outside, the rear garden is designed to be low maintenance, with a mix of paving and stone chips.
It’s enclosed by timber fencing and includes a block-built external store, giving you useful space for tools, bikes or general storage.
Overall, this is a home that offers generous space and private parking to the front.
The kitchen stands out as a central feature, and with three bedrooms and a large living room, it’s a property that fits comfortably into family life.
