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
Show home condition! Welcome to Basil Drive an immaculately presented three / four bedroom three storey home tucked away on the popular Hunters Wood development in Melksham.
Accomodation - Entrance into a bright and welcoming hallway, providing access to the ground floor accommodation.
To the front of the property is a versatile study/office, with a large window overlooking the front garden and beyond. Opposite, a handy cloakroom is neatly tucked away.
Moving towards the rear of the property, you’ll find a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area, offering plenty of flexibility depending on how you choose to use the accommodation throughout the home.
The kitchen itself features a range of modern wall and base units, complemented by generous worktop space and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, single oven, gas hob with extractor fan and dishwasher, alongside a stainless steel sink.
The dining area completes this space, with plenty of room for a large dining table and additional furniture. French doors open directly onto the rear garden.
Moving upstairs, the principal bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and benefits from a large window overlooking the garden, along with its own ensuite shower room.
To the front is a generously sized living room.
Again, the versatility of the property means this room could equally work as an additional bedroom, depending on how the ground floor accommodation is used.
The second floor offers two further goodsized rooms, with the family bathroom conveniently positioned between them.
The rear room could comfortably accommodate a double bed and benefits from plenty of natural light through a Velux window, although it is currently used as a dressing room.
The front room is currently arranged as an office but would also make a good sized single bedroom.
Overall, the accommodation is wonderfully versatile, allowing the property to adapt to a variety of lifestyles and needs, from first-time buyers and growing families to those looking for multi-generational living.
Grounds - To the rear is a landscaped, low maintenance garden, mainly laid to lawn with established borders and a shingled area positioned behind the garage.
A patio sits just outside the French doors, providing a lovely spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The garden is fully enclosed, with gated access leading onto the driveway, which provides off road parking for approximately two to three vehicles.
To the front is a small, low maintenance garden, mainly laid to shingle with space for pots and planting either side of the pathway leading to the front door.
Externally - The garage has been converted to create a home gym and can be accessed via a pedestrian door to rear.
There is still some storage space to the front accessed via the up and over manual door. Location - Tucked away on a quiet cul de sac of just three houses on Basil Drive.
