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
Situated on the sought after western side of Hitchin, within an easy walk of the town centre, this four bedroom chalet bungalow has been comprehensively renovated and reconfigured by a highly regarded local builder.
Offering approximately 1,958 sq ft of versatile accommodation across two floors, the property features four double bedrooms, three newly fitted bathrooms and a brand new kitchen, complemented by a newly landscaped south easterly facing garden and driveway parking.
The ground floor offers an impressive triple aspect kitchen and dining room measuring approximately 6.5m x 5.5m.
The brand new shaker style kitchen features quartz worktops and a large contrasting island with space for seating.
Bosch integrated appliances include a full height fridge, full height freezer, dishwasher, oven, combination microwave oven and induction hob, with integrated bin storage also incorporated into the kitchen cabinetry.
A solid oak staircase leads down from the kitchen and dining room into the spacious dual aspect lounge.
A vaulted ceiling and electrically operated Velux windows create a bright and airy space, with aluminium bifold doors opening onto the rear garden.
Herringbone LVT flooring runs through the kitchen, hallway and lounge.
Two double bedrooms are also situated on the ground floor, offering the flexibility to use either as an additional reception room, separate lounge or home office.
A newly fitted bathroom with a shower over the bath, a separate utility room and a cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, there are two impressive dual aspect double bedrooms, each measuring approximately 6m in length and served by a generous ensuite shower room with a window.
Solid oak internal doors feature throughout the property, while the loft is fully boarded with a ladder and light.
The comprehensive renovation includes a brand new roof, renewed external brickwork and silicone render to the remaining elevations, providing a high quality, low maintenance exterior finish.
New double glazing and exterior doors have been fitted, alongside a full electrical rewire.
A new central heating system, boiler and hot water cylinder have also been installed, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, controlled across seven separate zones, and radiator heating upstairs.
Outside, the south easterly facing rear garden is being landscaped with a porcelain patio and lawn, with direct access from the lounge.
To the side, the driveway provides parking for two to three cars and is equipped with an EV charger.
The Willows estate is an established residential area on Hitchin's sought after western side, conveniently placed for the town centre and countryside walks around nearby Charlton.

Hitchin railway station provides direct services to London King's Cross in around 30 minutes on the faster services, London Bridge in approximately 50 minutes and Cambridge in as little as 34 minutes.
