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
49 Westbourne Road is a real breath of fresh air.
Thoroughly and extensively renovated throughout, this attractive mature home is beautifully presented and ready to welcome its new owners through the door.
Offering approximately 956 sq ft of accommodation, the property combines the character and generous proportions of a traditional home with a fresh contemporary finish.
New flooring, carpets and decoration have been completed alongside a newly fitted kitchen and bathroom, making this an excellent choice for first-time buyers, couples or families who value their time and want to move straight in.
Set back from the road, a composite front door opens into an entrance vestibule and through to a particularly spacious reception hallway.
The high ceilings immediately enhance the sense of space, while a useful understairs cupboard provides practical everyday storage.
The bay-fronted lounge is a generous and light-filled reception room with ample space for comfortable seating and a focal fireplace.
A separate dining room offers equally impressive proportions and provides an excellent setting for family meals, entertaining or working from home.
Positioned at the rear of the house, the newly fitted kitchen offers a good range of storage and work surfaces with space for the necessary appliances.
Integrated cooking facilities include a gas hob and fan-assisted oven, with access leading directly into the rear garden.
The first floor continues the feeling of space with a large landing and three useful built-in storage cupboards.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a good-sized third bedroom that would make an ideal child’s room, guest bedroom or home office.
The newly fitted bathroom is finished in a clean modern style and includes a bath with a shower over.
Further benefits include a Worcester combination boiler, radiators throughout and extensive improvements that allow the next owners to settle in without the expense and inconvenience of further renovation.
