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
This very large, (circa 1,900 square feet) semi-detached home has been owned by the same family since new, and is now coming to market for the first time.
In the sought-after Brickhill area of Bedford, the property occupies a mature plot and has been thoughtfully extended over the years to provide ample living space across two storeys.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads into the reception rooms. There are two bright and airy living rooms, one overlooking the front and the other enjoying views of the garden.
The well-proportioned kitchen leads through to the dining room, which also provides access to the garden. In addition, there is a study, along with a downstairs shower room and a separate W/C.
Upstairs, the property offers four spacious double bedrooms, three of which include fitted storage, complemented by additional storage space in a separate upstairs store room.
A generous family bathroom features both a separate bath and a shower.
Further benefits include gas central heating, large double-glazed windows throughout, and the property is offered with no onward chain.
Outside, a generously sized garden wraps around the side and extends to the front. It totals around 0.25 acres subject to measured survey.
It comprises lawn, shrub borders, flower and vegetable beds, and wooded area which adds both privacy and character.
The garage offers flexible use, whether for secure parking or substantial storage, and is fitted with a convenient electric door. In addition, two garden sheds provide further storage options.
The property also benefits from off road parking.
The rear part of the garden was acquired from the council some years ago, and we understand that this area would be restricted for development and the trees have protection orders on them.
Curlew Crescent, located just off Brickhill Drive, offers a convenient and well-connected setting with easy access to Bedford town centre and the mainline railway station.
Local shops, including a Tesco Express, are within walking distance, while nearby green spaces add to the area’s appeal.
The neighbourhood also benefits from good road links, access to local schools, and a quiet residential environment, making it well-suited for a range of buyers.
