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
Situated in the sought-after area of Pilton, just a short stroll from Barnstaple town centre, 39 Pilton Street is a truly impressive four-bedroom terraced period home.
Beautifully modernised by the current owners, the property seamlessly blends character features with contemporary living, offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors.
On approach, the property has an attractive frontage, with the main entrance door opening into a useful porch area, ideal for coats and shoes.
A further door leads into a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the home.
You are greeted by a superb sitting/living room, thoughtfully arranged to create two distinct yet connected spaces.
The main living area provides ample room for relaxing, while the separate sitting area offers a cosy retreat, complete with a charming wood burner and large windows overlooking the front elevation, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space.
This room is both spacious and versatile, perfect for modern family living. From here, double doors open into the heart of the home – a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room.
This impressive space features vaulted ceilings, enhancing the sense of openness and light, while bifold doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the garden beyond.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with a central breakfast island, eye-level double oven, integrated cooker, all complemented by ample storage and worktop space.
Leading off the kitchen is a practical utility room, offering additional work surfaces and space for white goods. Beyond this is a convenient downstairs WC.
The first floor hosts two well-proportioned bedrooms.
Bedroom two is a fantastic double room with two windows overlooking the front elevation, while Bedroom three is another generous double, enjoying views over the rear garden.
A standout feature on this floor is the beautifully finished family bathroom, comprising a stylish four-piece suite including a freestanding roll-top bath, a large double shower cubicle with rainfall shower, a wash hand basin with storage, heated towel rail, and a slimline radiator.
A window to the rear provides natural light. Additionally, there is a separate cloakroom on this floor, adding further convenience.
On the second floor, the property continues to impress with two further bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double room positioned at the front of the property, offering a light and airy feel. Bedroom Four is a generously sized single room.
This floor also benefits from a modern three-piece shower room. Externally, the rear garden is a real highlight.
Enjoying a desirable west-facing aspect, it captures afternoon and evening sun, making it perfect for outdoor living.
The garden is enclosed by attractive stone walls and is thoughtfully arranged, beginning with a paved patio area directly accessed via the bifold doors – ideal for al fresco dining.
There is also a useful brick-built storage shed.
Beyond this, an artificial lawn provides a low-maintenance green space, leading to a further patio area at the rear, perfect for barbecues and outdoor seating.
In summary, Pilton Street is a beautifully presented and thoughtfully upgraded home offering generous accommodation, stylish interiors, and excellent outdoor space, all within a highly convenient and desirable location.
