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
Occupying a stunning position within some of the most beautiful countryside surrounding St Albans, Oak House is a truly exceptional Edwardian residence offering the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and modern convenience.
Set within over an acre of mature gardens and grounds, the property enjoys an enviable position surrounded by open farmland, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
Despite its idyllic setting, St Albans city centre, excellent schooling and mainline railway station remain just a short drive away, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a country lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.
The house has been extensively improved and beautifully maintained, blending period charm with contemporary family living. Extending to over 5,000 sq. Ft.
Including the detached outbuildings, the property offers substantial and versatile accommodation, whilst still providing excellent scope for further enlargement should additional space be required, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
A particular highlight is the superb detached home office overlooking the swimming pool and gardens, providing an inspiring workspace for those working from home.
Equally impressive is the substantial detached triple garage with adjoining stores, offering excellent space for multiple vehicles, workshops or storage, making it particularly appealing to car enthusiasts and classic car collectors.
Outside, the grounds have been designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring expansive lawns, mature planting, a large terrace and swimming pool, all set against a breathtaking backdrop of rolling Hertfordshire countryside.
Oak House offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Surrounded by nature, with wonderful walks on the doorstep and uninterrupted countryside views in every direction, this is a home that delivers the very best of country living.
