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
An exceptional, detached four/five-bedroom family residence occupying a premier plot at the head of a highly desirable Moortown cul-de-sac.
Boasting incredible curb appeal and an abundance of versatile living space, this beautiful home has been thoughtfully extended and adapted to perfectly suit the demands of modern family life.
The Ground Floor offers sophisticated living & entertaining space. Upon arrival, a welcoming entrance porch opens into a bright, inviting hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the property.
The Sitting Room: A spacious yet cozy sanctuary, featuring a charming log-burning stove and direct access through to a sun-soaked conservatory—perfect for relaxing with a view of the garden.
The Heart of the Home: A wonderful open-plan dining kitchen designed for entertaining, complemented by a separate, practical utility room with direct garden access.
The Ultimate Flexible Suite: Flowing seamlessly from the dining area is a professionally converted garage.
Complete with sleek fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room, this multi-functional space is currently utilized as a luxurious ground-floor fifth bedroom, but could easily serve as a premium home office, playroom, or teenage annex.
Convenience: A guest WC is discreetly located under the stairs.
The First Floor: Generous Bedrooms & Ultimate Potential The sense of space continues upstairs, where you will find four remarkably well-proportioned bedrooms and a layout built for a growing family.
Principal Bedroom: A stunning, light-filled double room featuring a classic bay window to the front elevation.
Bedroom Two: A further excellent double bedroom boasting access to a vast expanse of eaves storage—offering fantastic potential to extend and open up the space (STPP).

Bathrooms: A spacious family bathroom equipped with a separate bathtub and walk-in shower cubicle, alongside a separate, independent WC.
The Second Floor: A Hidden Bonus A fixed staircase leads up to a fully plastered and carpeted loft space.
Featuring Velux windows, central heating, power points, and ample built-in eaves storage, this area offers an incredible bonus space.
While currently lacking formal planning approval, it represents a golden opportunity for the incoming buyer to finalize certification or officially convert it into a magnificent primary suite (STPP).
Gardens & Exterior Set back on a generous plot, the front of the property features an expansive driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles, framed by mature hedging.
To the rear lies a beautifully maintained, expansive garden.
Predominantly laid to lawn and offering an excellent degree of privacy, this enclosed outdoor oasis is perfect for children, pets, and summer alfresco dining.

Incredible Footprint: Five true bedrooms with multiple reception spaces. Scope to Value-Add: Unlocked potential in both the first-floor eaves and the fully boarded loft space.
