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
Some homes simply have more about them, and this three-bedroom semi-detached villa at 36 Parkhill Avenue is a great example.
Arguably one of the finest homes of its type, this is a property where the usual expectations of a traditional semi-detached villa are quickly left behind, with a comprehensive renovation, stylish interiors, clever use of space and an exceptional garden creating a home that is as impressive as it is practical.
From the moment you arrive, there is a real sense that considerable thought has gone into making this a home for modern family life, while the additional attic accommodation and outstanding outdoor entertaining space add a level of flexibility that is not normally associated with this style of property.
The ground floor is centred around a superb open-plan living and dining space, with the living room flowing directly into a stylish fitted kitchen.
The kitchen itself is a real focal point, featuring an attractive range of fitted units, excellent storage and a central island that provides the perfect spot for casual dining, morning coffee or simply keeping the conversation going while entertaining.
The overall finish is modern and tasteful, with the property having been fully renovated in recent times to create a home that is ready to move straight into.
Also on the ground floor is a luxurious shower room, finished with attractive contemporary tiling and featuring a large double walk-in shower enclosure, creating a particularly smart and practical space.
Moving upstairs, there are three genuine double bedrooms, each offering comfortable accommodation, while the landing itself provides an interesting additional area that could easily become a quiet reading corner, children's chill-out zone, study area or home-working space.
The staircase continues to the third floor where the real flexibility of the accommodation becomes apparent.
The attic room has been fully floored and lined and features useful built-in storage, making it an excellent additional room for hobbies, teenagers, a home office, games room or simply somewhere to escape to.
Accessed via a fixed staircase rather than a traditional loft ladder, this is a genuinely useful extension of the living accommodation and gives the property another dimension.
Outside, however, is where this home really comes into its own.
The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and designed with entertaining very much in mind, incorporating a sun deck, patio and an impressive covered pergola complete with its own tiki bar.
There is a dedicated BBQ area, while the clever lift-up hatch creates a proper outdoor bar set-up when friends and family arrive.
It is a fantastic space for summer gatherings, relaxed evenings or simply enjoying the garden when the weather allows, and is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.
There is also monoblock parking to the front, while the side of the property enjoys a lovely open outlook across the surrounding scenery, adding a welcome sense of space and privacy.
The location is equally convenient, with Crosshouse village centre within easy walking distance and a range of everyday amenities close at hand, including Crosshouse Primary School, Spar mini market, the popular Crosshouse Chippy and McChristie's bar and restaurant.
Crosshouse University Hospital is also nearby, while excellent road connections provide easy access towards Kilmarnock and surrounding districts, with the A71 offering a direct route towards the A77 and onward travel to Glasgow.
For buyers looking for something a little different, this is a home that delivers far more than its traditional exterior might suggest, offering beautifully presented accommodation, impressive flexibility and an outdoor space that could easily become the centre of attention when entertaining.
