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
Built in 1913 and occupying an enviable position overlooking the open green space of Windmill Hill, this beautifully presented period home perfectly combines period character with modern styling, all within an exceptionally convenient central location.
Despite being just a five-minute walk from Hitchin's bustling town centre, the property enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting with far-reaching views to the rear.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to an impressive open-plan living and dining room.
A large bay window fills the front of the room with natural light, whilst the recently installed log burner creates a warm and inviting focal point.
The generous proportions provide clearly defined seating and dining areas, making it an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Useful under stairs storage adds valuable practicality.
To the rear, the stylish kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted with a comprehensive range of contemporary cabinetry, quality work surfaces and ample storage.
There is plenty of space for appliances, together with a useful cloakroom/WC.
Sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear deck, seamlessly connecting the inside and outside spaces whilst making the most of the wonderful elevated views across Windmill Hill.
The first floor offers three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, all served by a recently refitted contemporary family bathroom finished to a high standard with a modern white suite and stylish tiling.
Accessed via a stair ladder, the converted loft room provides excellent additional storage and flexible space, currently ideal as a hobbies room, occasional guest room, children's playroom or home office.
Subject to the necessary alterations and approvals, there is excellent potential to install a permanent staircase, allowing the space to be fully utilised as an additional room.
Outside, the property is approached via an attractive front garden, with a private driveway providing off-road parking for one vehicle.
The rear garden has been designed for low maintenance and takes full advantage of its elevated position, with a decked seating area enjoying stunning views over Windmill Hill and the surrounding greenery.
Beneath the decking is extensive fitted storage, complemented by a useful wood store.
At the end of the garden sits a fully insulated home office, providing an ideal environment for those working from home or requiring versatile additional accommodation away from the main house.
A wonderful blend of period charm, thoughtful modern improvements and an exceptional central location, this superb home offers stylish, practical living with generous storage throughout, flexible accommodation and outstanding views, all just a short walk from Hitchin's vibrant town centre.
Kershaws Hill is one of Hitchin's most sought-after central addresses, prized for its easy walk to the town centre, mainline station and catchment for some of the area's most highly regarded schools.
The road is characterised by an attractive mix of predominantly period homes, complemented by the occasional contemporary residence, whilst every property enjoys breathtaking rear views across Windmill Hill, creating a truly exceptional setting.
