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
Positioned on the sought-after Drome Road in Copmanthorpe, this detached four-bedroom property occupies a generous half-acre plot, set well back from the lane for a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
The property has been carefully maintained, with select improvements over the years, while offering exciting scope for extension or more comprehensive renovation, subject to the necessary consents.
Its current layout is both practical and inviting, allowing a new owner to personalise and create a home tailored to their own tastes and lifestyle.
The accommodation is light-filled and well-proportioned, with bright reception rooms that take advantage of the garden outlooks.
The spacious open-plan living/dining room is a particular highlight, with a pretty feature-fireplace and glazed patio doors opening to the terrace and framing views across the garden.
On the ground floor, three double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The first floor is currently configured to provide a spacious landing/study/storage area and a fourth double bedroom with an en suite shower room; a versatile arrangement suited to both family living and visiting guests, with potential to expand if desired to create a sizeable dwelling.
The gardens are a delight, completely secluded and bordered by a variety of mature trees and shrubbery.
A vast lawn is interspersed with colourful wild flowers and planted beds, extending into a charming orchard with a pond and greenhouse beyond.
This idyllic setting offers both beauty and practicality, a haven for gardeners and wildlife lovers, with ample space for outdoor living, entertaining, or simply relaxing in nature.
Copmanthorpe itself is a thriving and well-connected village, highly regarded for its sense of community, excellent local amenities including a primary school, convenience store, public house, café and doctors surgery.
It is conveniently located within close proximity to York and the A64, providing swift access to regional centres and beyond.
