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
New to the market for the first time in over twenty years is this five bedroomed detached Victorian house set in a quiet, private, tree-lined road.
Set well back from the road the driveway provides parking for numerous cars and is accessed via a wrought iron electric gate.
The house is bordered by the original dwarf brick wall with cast iron replica railings and there is a pedestrian gate too. The drive is large with established planted beds and mature trees.
The house is accessed via an enclosed porch and leads to the hallway with access to the triple aspect living room with arched sliding sash windows, working fireplace and doors leading to the brick and glass conservatory.
There is a separate living room to the front with fabulous bay window and bespoke maple wood kitchen with separate utility room.
There are two other downstairs rooms which could be converted into a separate annex as the property benefits from two entrances. The cellar is large and dry with storage and space for a workshop.
The generous landing provides access to five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite toilet and generous dressing area.
The four other bedrooms are all doubles with high ceilings and sliding sash windows.
To the rear is a large storage room, with solar panels, and swimming pool, with jets to swim against, with patio surround. The lawn is generous and there is an open summer house.
