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 fantastic opportunity for someone to get themselves on the housing ladder at an affordable price and still have the benefit of having a 40% share in this wonderful home.
The property is situated in a cul de sac location with a rear garden that backs directly onto open fields, and although the house was only built in 2016 it has since been improved upon by the current owner.
The living accommodation is very tastefully presented and comprises on the ground floor a welcoming entrance hall, a contemporary shower room, a superb fitted kitchen and a sitting/dining room with French door leading to the garden.
On the first floor there are two true double bedrooms, the main bedroom having fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary bathroom.
Other features include a gas central heating system, PVCu double glazing and the added benefit of solar panels at the rear.
