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
Nestled within tranquil mature woodland is the exceptional Arden House, an executive five bedroom home standing within 1.25 acre grounds on the premium private lane of Weaverlake Drive.
Offering exceptionally well-appointed accommodation inside and out alongside an architect-designed extension, this handsome residence has received extensive improvements highlighting the quality finish of both the original build and more modern additions.
Arden House presents a rare opportunity to reside within this highly desired private community of just 10 executive homes, combining the ideals of peaceful rural living with nearby access to excellent amenities and convenient commuter links.
Well proportioned interiors extend over two floors, with the connected triple bay coach house offering potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation.
Arden House is serviced by mains gas central heating (2020 boiler) and Argon filled double glazed windows (fitted 2020).
Three spacious reception rooms and a study present plenty of space for family living and entertaining, with a show-stopping open plan dining and living kitchen being the heart of the extensive accommodation.
Functional spaces include a boot room, large laundry room and a gym, with both a traditional central reception hall and an elegant glazed Atrium giving two impressive and welcoming entrances.
To the first floor there are five well proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal suite extending to a fabulous size and having a private en suite bathroom.
The second bedroom is also serviced by a refitted en suite, with a modern refitted shower room servicing the additional bedrooms.
From each bedroom window, views of the gardens, paddock and over the tranquil parkland setting of Weaverlake Drive can be appreciated.
Wrap around formal gardens have been landscaped to an excellent standard, with granite paving, manicured lawns and an insulated studio, offering an ideal artists workshop or work-from-home space.
There has previously been planning approval to add a leisure complex with swimming pool to the rear of the coach house, with ample space for this to be added without encroaching on the generous plot.
Having access from Weaverlake Drive as well as the garden is a paddock with a summer house and kitchen garden, offering a multitude of potential uses and additional outside space to complement the generous proportions of Arden House.
