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
Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000 A Beautiful Period Home Opposite a Popular Park Combining period charm with thoughtful modern improvements, this lovely home offers character, warmth and versatile family living in a fantastic location.
The house retains a wealth of attractive period features, including the original front door, original doorstep tiles and a tiled porch.
The welcoming hallway is enhanced by period-style floor tiles and newly designed and installed stained glass, creating a distinctive entrance full of character.
At the heart of the home is the extended kitchen, designed to make the most of natural light, with three Velux roof windows and bifold doors opening onto the south-facing garden.
A dining table provides a welcoming space for everyday meals, while underfloor heating in both the kitchen and hallway adds an extra touch of comfort.
The living accommodation offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a log burner in the dining room creating a cosy focal point.
Currently used as a playroom, the dining room offers versatile space that can adapt to the needs of its new owners. Period-style radiators and shutters throughout add further charm and individuality.
Two of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, providing practical and convenient storage. Outside, the beautiful magnolia tree and period-style gate enhance the home’s kerb appeal.
The south-facing garden offers a lovely outlook from the kitchen and includes a playhouse, with an extra-large Keter storage unit positioned behind it, providing useful additional storage.
The location is another real highlight, with a popular park directly opposite and an outstanding-rated primary school at the end of the road.
Excellent transport links also make commuting and travelling around the area convenient, making this an especially appealing home for families and professionals alike.
A wonderful combination of period character, thoughtful improvements, versatile living space and an enviable location, this is a home with plenty to offer.
