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.

A wonderful Victorian detached family home with over 2700 sq ft of well-presented accommodation, located overlooking and on the edge of National Trust common land just on the outskirts of Dorking.
With four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two generous reception rooms, double garage, outbuildings and a lovely rear garden, this house has been a well loved family home for 40 years.
This delightful property starts in the spacious entrance hall leading to all key rooms and stairs leading up to the first floor.
The first reception room is an impressive 26'5 X 12'6 double aspect sitting room with three large windows creating a lovely bright entertaining space and has room for all your furniture.
Across the hallway is a large front aspect dining room.
At the rear of the property is the well laid out kitchen with ample base and eye level units, worktops, space for all of the expected appliances as well as a larder.
There is a rear hallway with lots of space for coats and wellies plus a useful cloakroom and door out to the garden. On the 1st floor, there are four bedrooms.
All are good sized doubles and there is also the large family bathroom with white suite.
A further staircase leads to an impressive 21'0 x 10'4 sq ft part converted loft with Velux windows – this is a wonderful bonus space that could be used as a study or occasional bedroom.
Garden & exterior The gardens are yet another wonderful feature to this house, which has been designed to be elegant yet easy to maintain.
At the front is a low maintenance slate shingled garden overlooking the common. A driveway to the side, with room for several cars, leads to the back of the house.
The rear garden has again been designed and landscaped to be low maintenance, and is mostly patio with established raised flowers beds with mature shrubs and an attractive gravel pathway.
Directly from the kitchen/breakfast room is the charming patio area providing the perfect area for summer soirées or al fresco dining in the warmer months.
There is a large potting shed/workshop with power and lighting – with some work this could potentially be converted to a summer house or garden office.
