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
From the outset, the house conveys presence — set back from the road with ample frontage and parking, it enjoys a commanding yet welcoming feel.
Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide both formal and informal living spaces, ensuring the home adapts seamlessly to busy family life.
The principal reception rooms are generous in proportion, offering flexibility for entertaining, relaxing or home working. Large windows draw in natural light, enhancing the sense of space throughout.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space — a wonderfully sociable room centred around a substantial island and extensive work surfaces.
This is very much the hub of the house; ideal for family gatherings, weekend breakfasts and entertaining alike.
The space flows effortlessly to the garden, creating a natural connection between inside and out during the warmer months.
Additional reception areas offer valuable versatility — whether as a formal sitting room, snug, playroom or dedicated home office — allowing the layout to evolve as requirements change.
Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is equally well considered.
Each room is generously sized and filled with natural light, with the principal bedroom enjoying a particularly pleasant outlook over the garden.
The remaining bedrooms are perfectly suited for children, guests or further workspace, providing long-term flexibility for growing families.
Outside The rear garden is a true highlight — south facing mature, private and thoughtfully arranged.
A broad paved terrace spans the rear of the house, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.
Beyond, an expansive lawn is framed by established trees and shrub borders, offering both space for recreation and areas of seclusion.
The depth of the plot provides an excellent sense of privacy, while the established planting enhances the overall setting throughout the seasons.
To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking together with access to the store room, ensuring practicality matches the home’s scale.
