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
28 Emerald Avenue: Situated in a highly desirable location and only a few miles from Claydon Primary School (rated OFSTED Outstanding), this modern detached family home combines stylish living with everyday convenience.
Built just 18 months ago by Bellway, the property retains the remainder of its warranty, offering peace of mind for its next owners.
Upon entering, a spacious hallway introduces the ground floor accommodation. The dual-aspect living room is generously proportioned, offering an inviting setting for family relaxation.
French doors open directly onto the rear garden patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living.
At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, designed with both style and practicality in mind.
Finished with sage green cabinetry, it provides a combination of eye-level and base storage, alongside integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
There is also space for a washing machine, as currently configured.
A breakfast bar offers additional worktop space and the option for casual seating, while the room easily accommodates a dining table — as presently arranged.
To the front of the property sits a versatile reception room. Currently used as a playroom, it would equally lend itself as a formal dining room, home office, or snug, depending on requirements.
Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed cloakroom. Upstairs, the home has been thoughtfully reconfigured to enhance the master suite.
Originally designed as a four-bedroom property, the current layout offers three bedrooms, with the former fourth bedroom now serving as a luxurious walk-in wardrobe and dressing area for the master bedroom.
The master is a true retreat, comfortably accommodating a super king bed and complemented by a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom.
Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, while the landing also benefits from additional storage.
Externally, the home boasts a private rear garden, a driveway with ample parking for two vehicles, and a detached garage.
A portion of the garage has been converted into a fantastic home office, ideal for those needing a similar, separate space. A side door has been added so access is easy from the rear garden.
With its upgraded interior, modern build quality, and excellent nearby amenities, this home offers an exceptional opportunity for families or professionals seeking a stylish, move-in ready home in Ipswich.
