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 truly beautiful traditional bay-fronted period home, enviably positioned on the ever-popular Waterloo Road in Penylan, directly opposite the delightful Waterloo Gardens and just a short stroll from the nearby shops and amenities.
This charming four-bedroom mid-terraced property effortlessly combines character and contemporary living, retaining a wealth of attractive original features whilst benefiting from a stunning rear extension which creates an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.
The accommodation is particularly impressive, with a welcoming entrance hallway featuring original flooring and an attractive traditional balustrade, together with useful built-in understairs storage and a convenient cloakroom.
To the front, the elegant reception room is full of character, featuring beautiful sash bay windows, original-style wood panelling, stripped wooden flooring, fitted alcove shelving and storage, and an attractive fireplace housing a fully functioning wood-burning stove.
To the rear, the property really comes into its own with a superb extended kitchen/dining/living area.
The stylish fitted kitchen incorporates a central island and opens into a generous dining space and an additional spacious sitting area, set slightly lower and creating a wonderful sense of space and versatility.
Bi-fold doors open directly onto the delightful rear garden, whilst Velux roof windows flood the entire area with natural light.
An attractive original stained-glass door leads from the kitchen area into a separate utility room.
The first floor provides four bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, offering excellent accommodation for families and those needing additional space to work from home.
Combining timeless period charm with a fantastic contemporary extension, this is a particularly appealing home in one of Penylan's most desirable positions, with Waterloo Gardens quite literally on the doorstep and the popular local shops, cafes and amenities all within easy walking distance.
