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
This four-bedroom detached house is an outstanding family home which is brought to market in walk-in condition, complete with a blank canvas of décor and contemporary finishings.
It has generously proportioned rooms, and includes a stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, as well as a dedicated living area.
Great storage brings further practicality, along with a high-quality en-suite, family bathroom, and WC. In addition, there is a private double driveway and a large garden with a south-facing aspect.
Adding to its strong appeal, this home also has a highly desirable setting at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Calderwood development.
The area has an idyllic ambience, offering easy access to Livingston, the nearby countryside, and the capital.
Nestled behind a front garden for added kerb appeal, the home’s main door opens with a wonderful first impression into a hall that sets the interior standards.
It has built-in storage and a generous store, as well as a convenient WC.
Offering plenty of room for comfy furnishings, the living area has a spacious footprint which is brightly illuminated by dual-aspect windows.
Here, the crisp white palette and soft carpet bring a minimalist look, while a stylish media wall adds another layer of elegance.
It incorporates space for a television and sound system, as well as lit display areas and a wall-set electric fireplace with a living-flame effect – a cosy accompaniment for arranging furniture around.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and family room is the heart of the home, designed to bring everyone together.
It covers over 588 square feet, with dual-aspect windows and bi-folding doors for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the south-facing garden.
Unsurprisingly, this room easily accommodates an 8-person(plus) table and chairs, as well as comfortable sofas.
The kitchen brings additional style to the space too, enjoying an ultra-modern design and colour palette.
It features sleek, handle-less cabinetry in a sumptuous grey tone alongside complementary worktops with matching splashbacks for a seamless finish.
The unified look is further reinforced by a suite of integrated appliances (induction hob, concealed extractor, oven, combi microwave oven, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher).
A Franke three-in-one tap provides instant boiling water, while a separate utility room offers a quiet locale for laundry.
The four bedrooms occupy the first floor, extending off a broad landing with an airing cupboard and a window to bring extra light into the home.
All have attractive neutral styling and plush carpets for maximum comfort.
Bedrooms two and three are doubles, whereas the fourth bedroom is a versatile space currently arranged as a sleeping area and office.
It highlights the adaptability of the home and how the rooms can be tailored to your family’s needs and requirements.
The large principal suite benefits from a built-in mirrored wardrobe and a contemporary en-suite shower room, fitted with a double-sized (walk-in) shower cubicle.
