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
Churcher Estates are delighted to bring to the market this two-bedroom end terraces property on Pickles Drive.
Offered on a leasehold basis and available with no onward chain , the home presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to update and personalise a property to their own taste.
With a practical layout, generously proportioned rooms and excellent potential, this would make an ideal first-time purchase.
The property is approached via a generous paved frontage providing ample off-road parking and access to the attached garage.
The entrance porch opens into the hallway, where stairs rise to the first-floor accommodation and doors lead into the principal ground-floor rooms.
The lounge is a particularly well-proportioned reception room, with dual aspect allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space.
A feature fireplace forms the focal point, while the generous proportions provide ample room for comfortable seating and additional furniture.
Although requiring cosmetic updating, this is a bright and versatile living space with plenty of scope for a new owner to create a contemporary lounge.
To the rear is the kitchen/diner , currently fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, sink and cooking facilities, together with space for appliances.
A rear door provides direct access into the garden. Upstairs, the landing gives access to two generously sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is an excellent-sized double and benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and storage.
The second bedroom is another well-proportioned room, making it suitable as a double bedroom, guest room, nursery or home office.
The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC, complemented by tiled walls and a frosted window providing natural light and privacy.
Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed rear garden incorporating lawn and paved patio areas, established boundaries.
The garden provides a manageable outdoor space with plenty of potential for landscaping or creating an attractive seating and entertaining area.
A particularly useful addition is the garage , providing excellent storage.
While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it offers an excellent foundation for its next owner and represents a fantastic opportunity to purchase a home that can be personalised.
With two bedrooms, off-road parking, a garage, enclosed rear garden and no onward chain , this property is particularly well suited to first-time buyers and those looking for a home with potential.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the accommodation, location and opportunity this property has to offer. Tenure - Freehold Council Tax Band B EPC TBC
