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 quite superb four bedroom detached home was constructed in 2005 by local developers Sondon & Co and occupies a sought after position within the historic Georgian market town of Ampthill, offering a wealth of beautifully proportioned and versatile accommodation finished to an exceptionally high standard.
Approach is via twin wrought iron gates opening onto a block paved driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles and complemented by an electric vehicle charging point.
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor and access to a useful cloakroom.
To the right is the principal reception room, an impressive 16’9” x 12’6” living room decorated in a stylish colour palette.
Its delightful dual aspect allows natural light to flood the space, while the generous proportions provide excellent flexibility for furniture placement.
Across the hallway is a separate study, ideally suited to home working, while towards the rear is a spacious dining/family room.
This sociable space comfortably accommodates a dining table and chairs, with French doors opening directly onto the garden.
Beyond is the contemporary kitchen, fitted with a comprehensive range of navy floor and wall mounted units complemented by contrasting lighter work surfaces.
A selection of integrated appliances has been incorporated into the design, while the vaulted ceiling, punctuated by Velux windows, creates a wonderfully light and airy feel.
A separate utility room provides additional storage and space for freestanding appliances. Upstairs, the first floor landing provides access to all four bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
The remaining three bedrooms are all generously proportioned and served by an immaculate family bathroom, comprising a panelled bath with shower and glass screen over, concealed cistern WC and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit.
Contemporary tiling, recessed spotlights and a heated towel rail complete the look. Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive and private setting.
A shaped patio provides the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining, while beyond is a distinctive circular lawn enclosed by brick walling.
Established plants, shrubs and bushes provide structure and seasonal colour, completing this beautifully presented family home.
Beyond here is a garage accessed by an electric up and over door with two additional parking spaces.
The area is renowned for its schooling for all age groups, with 'Russell Lower' 'Alameda' and 'Redborne' just a short walk away.
There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur trust private schools for both boys and girls at the bottom of Brewery Lane.
Rail links into London are from Flitwick with a frequent service into St Pancras which takes as little as 40 minutes, major road links are from J13, M1 which is less than 15 minutes from the property.
The town also benefits from a Waitrose store nestled nearby.
