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.

Location What3Words///apply.tuck.song Description Situated in a sought-after residential location close to the town park, well-regarded schools, Aldi, bus services and the leisure centre, this substantial semi-detached home offers generous, versatile accommodation with excellent potential for further development.
The property enjoys an attractive, semi-enclosed front garden providing excellent kerb appeal, together with a private block-paved driveway offering convenient off-street parking.
Retaining a wealth of character, the accommodation extends over two floors and benefits from a second staircase leading to a spacious loft, which offers exciting potential to create additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
A welcoming and spacious entrance hallway features beautiful coloured leaded-glass detailing to the inner door and surrounding panels, useful understairs storage, and access to both the kitchen and the two reception rooms.
The elegant bay-fronted lounge overlooks the front garden and is enhanced by an ornate fireplace with a marble-style inset and hearth.

There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying pleasant outlooks.
The accommodation is completed by a separate WC and a shower room featuring a large walk-in shower and a wash hand basin with built-in storage.
Although the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, it already benefits from gas central heating and double glazing to the majority of windows.
