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
Enviably located along the highly prized & prestigious Whitley Crescent in Whitley & totalling a generous 1068 square feet of beautiful period living space which has been significantly enhanced - this eye-catching & impressive semi-detached family home dates back to the 1930s and is brimming with lots of pretty features such as high coved ceilings, large bay windows and elegant fireplaces, all perfectly blended with a very contemporary & stylish finish that mean buyers can simply move in and start unpacking.
Bought around 5 years ago, our clients have much improved the property over that time benefitting from lots of re-plastering, a highly efficient central heating boiler installed (just 2 / 3 years ago).
All new floorings have been laid and the property freshly decorated, plus a high spec stylish fitted kitchen & bathroom were installed.
Furthermore, the living space had also extended & remodelled to the rear resulting in a very family-friendly & spacious layout that needs internal viewing to be fully appreciated.
The property in brief comprises; a main hallway with wc / cloaks, an elegant main lounge with feature bay window, beautiful exposed brick chimney & feature log burner plus smart shutter binds.
To the rear is a spacious sitting room which also leads through into the stylish vaulted ceiling extension & incorporates the luxury fitted kitchen.
The kitchen itself is finished with a range of quality integrated appliances plus there are feature bi-folding doors that open out onto the rear garden.
Upstairs the home boasts three generously sized bedrooms, with elegant fitted units to the master bed plus a stunning principal bathroom suite.
Externally, the plot here is another key feature of the property - the gardens are mature, much larger than neighbouring plots & particularly private, with considerable space to the side too (the plot effectively is the size of two plots to the side offering the possibility of building a garage or extending the property).
There is a large driveway to the front providing off road parking for numerous vehicles.
Locally, the property rests a short walk to the outstanding Woodfield Primary School, plus the picturesque Haigh Hall Plantations & its hundreds of acres of stunning Woodland.
Early viewings are highly recommended.
