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.

The ground floor incorporates a cinema room, family room, study, spa complex with sauna and steam room, gymnasium, internal courtyard, utility facilities, guest cloakroom and substantial garaging for up to twelve vehicles behind secure electric shutters, the scale of which offers potential for conversion into further living accommodation, if desired.
