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 immaculate five double bedroom detached house is offered for sale in a sought-after position on the edge of Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham.
Set back from the road with a private driveway, the property is a former Bovis “Winchester” showhome, extending to almost 2,000 square feet plus double garage and designed with modern family living in mind.
The accommodation opens into a large entrance hall, giving an immediate sense of space and flow. To the rear, an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and seating area forms the hub of the home.
The kitchen includes a peninsula, built-in appliances and generous dining space, with a relaxed seating area that benefits from bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection and pleasant hill views from the upstairs rear.
There are three reception rooms. The main living room enjoys views and direct access to the garden via further bi-fold doors, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.
A second versatile reception room features a bay window to the front and is suitable as a playroom, games room/TV room, additional office or even a potential ground floor bedroom, if required.
The third reception room is configured as a dedicated study/office, also with a front bay window, providing a comfortable workspace separate from the main living zones.
Supporting the ground floor layout is a cloakroom/utility room, adding useful storage and laundry space and contributing to the home’s practicality.
The property also benefits from a high EPC rating of A and is in Council Tax band G. Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, maximising storage while keeping the room uncluttered.

Three further double bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for families. A well-appointed family bathroom serves these rooms, offering a bath and a separate shower cubicle.
Externally, the house enjoys a garden accessed via bi-fold doors from the main living areas, enhancing the sense of space.
Parking is well catered for via a double garage and additional driveway parking, and the presence of EV charging supports modern motoring requirements.
The property is located on the edge of Bishops Cleeve, an urban village just north of Cheltenham, known for its local amenities, schools and community facilities.
The area offers a range of shops, supermarkets, cafés and pubs, along with nearby parks and green spaces.
There are established walking and cycling routes in and around the village, as well as access to the wider Cotswold countryside.
