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.

The dining area and sitting room are separated by a retro storage unit. To the rear of the property is a kitchen/breakfast room with access via a lobby to the garden and garage.

To the first floor is a light and airy landing which leads to four double bedrooms, the principal bedroom has dual aspect views and built in wardrobes. There is also a four-piece bathroom suite.
There is great potential to extend the first floor by extending over the garage (the vendor had advised that the foundations to the garage were built at the same depth as the main two storey house).

To the rear is a large mature rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with tree, shrub and flower borders.
