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
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this three-bedroom detached house occupies a generous wraparound plot along Hillway, a quiet, non-through road in the popular village of Linton.
The property offers spacious accommodation, an integral garage and excellent potential for buyers looking to modernise a home to their own taste.
Built using traditional brick-and-block construction, the property provides a solid foundation for modernising, with a practical layout and well-proportioned rooms throughout.
The ground floor is approached via an entrance hall, which provides access to a spacious living room with a large window overlooking the front of the property.
To the rear, a separate dining room connects with the kitchen, offering potential to create a more contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining space, subject to any necessary consents.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an adjoining utility room, which also provides access to the integral garage. A downstairs WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two particularly generous doubles, alongside a third bedroom which could equally serve as a home office or nursery.
A separate shower room serves the first floor.
Outside, the property occupies a particularly appealing wraparound plot, providing generous garden space and plenty of potential for landscaping or further improvements.
A useful addition is the powered garden shed, previously used as a pottery workshop, which offers excellent versatility for hobbies, a workshop or other uses.
To the front, the driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, alongside the integral garage.
There is also potential to adapt part of the front garden to create additional driveway parking, subject to any necessary consents.
Although the property would benefit from modernisation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a traditionally constructed detached home with generous proportions, a good-sized plot and the potential to add value.
