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
Modern, well-presented and arranged with everyday living in mind, this two-bedroom home at Clarendon Gardens offers a welcoming open-plan living space, a generous main bedroom and a garden that feels like an extension of the living space.
With the added benefit of three off-road parking spaces and a location convenient for Barnstaple, schools and commuter routes, there is plenty here to appeal to first-time buyers, couples and those looking for a low-maintenance home.
Downstairs is centred around the open-plan kitchen and living room, giving the whole floor a relaxed, connected feel.
The kitchen sits towards the front, finished with white shaker-style cabinetry, contrasting worktops and built-in cooking appliances.
A peninsula creates useful additional worktop space as well as a breakfast bar, making it an easy spot for morning coffee, quick meals or chatting while dinner is being prepared.
Beyond this, the room naturally becomes a comfortable lounge.
There is plenty of room for a substantial sofa and additional furniture without the two areas competing for space, while French doors open straight onto the rear garden.
In warmer weather it is easy to imagine leaving the doors open and moving between the house and patio when friends are round.
A downstairs WC is tucked conveniently away from the main living area, while useful storage has also been incorporated around the staircase.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is generously proportioned; it comfortably accommodates a double bed alongside substantial freestanding furniture.
Two front-facing windows bring in plenty of natural light and give the room a bright, calm feel.
Bedroom two is a versatile second room, currently set up as a home office with wardrobes and desk space.
Its proportions allow it to work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or dedicated workspace depending on what the next owner needs.
The shower room has been given a smart contemporary finish, with large-format tiling, a walk-in shower with glazed screen, vanity unit and WC.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden has been set up to be enjoyed rather than demand constant attention.
A central lawn is complemented by paved areas and a generous patio seating space towards the end of the garden, ideal for outdoor dining, a barbecue or simply catching some sunshine.
There is also space for a garden shed and gated access.
Another standout feature is the three off-road parking spaces, giving the property more parking than you might expect from a modern two-bedroom home.
With Barnstaple town centre within easy reach, along with local schools and convenient road links for commuting around North Devon, this is a home that makes day-to-day life refreshingly straightforward.
