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
Welcome to this exquisite five-bedroom detached residence in the prestigious Longdean Park gated community.
Thoughtfully designed and offering just under 3,000 sq ft of elegant living space, this exceptional home sits on a private plot of approximately half an acre.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Longdean Nature Reserve, the property provides a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and far-reaching panoramic views.
The interior layout is both generous and versatile, featuring five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suites.
The ground floor offers three to four reception rooms, including a striking 24-foot living room with a vaulted ceiling, a dedicated study, and a spacious modern kitchen/diner equipped with electric and gas cooker connections.
Beautiful oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor, and most rooms enjoy uninterrupted views over the surrounding landscape.
The landscaped gardens have been expertly designed for ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment.
Lush evergreen shrubs, flowering plants, and mature trees create a peaceful setting, complemented by a patio perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Additional features include an oriental garden with a swing arbor, an ornamental pond with cascading water, a six-hole artificial putting green, a manicured lawn, and practical additions such as a greenhouse and garden shed.
A standout feature of this home is the expansive roof terrace, which spans the full width of the first floor.
From this elevated vantage point, you can take in sweeping views of the gardens and the neighbouring nature reserve'a truly unique and tranquil outdoor space.
Practical needs are equally well considered, with a double garage featuring a remote-operated door and a spacious driveway accommodating seven or more vehicles.
There is also scope to adapt part of the ground floor into a self-contained annexe, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living, with further extension possibilities subject to planning permission.
Located close to a wide range of amenities and with access to well-regarded state and independent schools, as well as nearby train stations, this freehold property is offered with no forward chain, a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a luxurious and distinguished family home in a highly desirable location.
Longdean Park is a 55 acre private development comprising 110 generously placed homes.
Very few enjoy the views this property offers but all benefit from the active resident's association that works tirelessly to maintain the high standards set out when the estate was conceived, providing the opportunity to enjoy the inclusive lifestyle that the Park affords.
Mainline railway links can be found in the historic City of St Albans situated 5 miles away which also caters for everyday needs offering many bars and restaurants with boutique shops and more high street offerings.
Both the M1 and M25 are also close by. Additionally, the mainline stations at Apsley and Hemel Hempstead (to London Euston) are only a short distance away.
