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.

Extending to approximately 1,725 sq ft, the property offers generous and flexible accommodation over two levels, perfectly suited to modern family living while retaining a wealth of character and charm.
The property is entered via a welcoming vestibule featuring attractive period-style floor tiling, setting the tone for the character and quality found throughout the home.
Beyond lies a central reception hall, above which a striking cupola floods both the hallway and first-floor landing with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
To the front of the house is an elegant bay-windowed sitting room, an exceptionally bright and inviting space that enjoys excellent proportions and provides an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
A charming log-burning stove serves as an attractive focal point, enhancing the room's warmth and character. Of particular note is the impressive kitchen and dining room to the rear.
Measuring over 20 ft in length, this superb space forms the heart of the home and has been thoughtfully designed with family life in mind.
The kitchen offers extensive worktop space, excellent storage and ample room for a large dining table, making it equally suited to informal family meals and entertaining guests.
A useful utility room lies adjacent to the kitchen, providing further storage and laundry facilities, while a separate store room adds valuable practicality.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a contemporary shower room which benefits from underfloor heating.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and benefits from attractive bay-windowed proportions, generous floor space and excellent natural light.
Two further double bedrooms overlook the rear, each offering built-in storage and flexibility for family members or guests.
A fourth room, currently arranged as a study, provides an ideal home-working environment but could equally serve as a nursery or occasional bedroom.
These rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Externally, the property enjoys attractive private garden grounds which perfectly complement the generous internal accommodation.
A particular highlight is the wonderfully private, south-facing rear garden, which benefits from excellent sunlight throughout the day and provides an ideal outdoor extension of the living space.
Thoughtfully arranged, the garden incorporates a patio area perfectly suited to al fresco dining and entertaining, together with a generous area of lawn, creating a versatile space for families, children and keen gardeners alike.
