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

A further short staircase leads to the first-floor sleeping accommodation, where you will find two exceptionally well-proportioned double bedrooms, both offering comfortable living space and flexibility for families, professionals or those working from home.
