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
Located within one of Helensburgh's most exclusive pockets "Northcourt" 1 Stafford Street West is a substantial detached villa that sits within a magnificent corner plot within the town's Conservation area.
Built in the early 1970's by the current family "Northcourt" is a deceptively spacious detached villa offering around 1,800 square feet of living space.
Located within one of Helensburgh's premier addresses the property also has the advantage of having been re-roofed in recent years.
"Northcourt" sits within a wonderful corner plot and offers all on the level living if required. On entering there is a welcoming porch and entrance hallway which has a useful store cupboard.
The lounge is vast in size and has ample space for a dining area with glass doors outside accessing a raised patio.
The kitchen is fitted with traditional units and worktops and can be accessed from both the hallway and lounge.
Adjoining the kitchen is a rear porch which has two larder cupboards and an external courtesy door leading to a carport.
The ground floor of the property has four spacious bedrooms one of which would make an ideal home office.
A staircase from the hallway accesses an upper landing, WC and vast family room which has outstanding views over the west side of Helensburgh with the Firth of Clyde in the distance.
The upper level could easily be developed into a principle bedroom suite with En-suite facilities (subject to relevant consents). A degree of modernisation is required throughout.
Externally "Northcourt" sits within the most wonderful gardens that offer a high degree of privacy from neighbouring properties.
The gardens have large areas of lawn, lovely mature planting, private driveway, carport, outdoor store and a detached garage.
The location of "Northcourt" is ideal being tucked away in a beautiful pocket of Helensburgh. The town centre can be reached easily by foot or a short car journey.
