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
Ref: JH0590 Welcome to Castlerigg Drive, where this attractive semi-detached home presents an excellent opportunity for first time buyers, couples, small families or those looking for a well positioned property with excellent potential for modern living.
Situated just off the popular Lakeland Way, the property occupies a convenient residential position within this established part of Burnley, combining a pleasant suburban setting with easy access to local amenities, transport links and the wider surrounding area.
The property itself has been thoughtfully presented throughout and benefits from two bedrooms, a modern fitted kitchen, spacious lounge, conservatory, three-piece family bathroom, private landscaped rear garden, off-road parking for two vehicles and an EV charging point.
Externally: Approaching the property, there is a small front lawn which provides an attractive frontage, together with a private two car driveway, offering convenient off-road parking for residents and visitors alike.
A particularly useful modern addition is the EV charging point, providing a practical benefit for those with an electric or hybrid vehicle.
A secure gate to the side provides access through to the rear garden. The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.
Professionally landscaped and tastefully presented, the garden provides a private and enjoyable outdoor space which is particularly well suited to relaxing, entertaining or enjoying a morning coffee during the warmer months.
The garden benefits from an easterly facing aspect, allowing the space to enjoy the morning and daytime sun, while the private rear boundary creates a pleasant sense of seclusion.
The combination of the landscaped finish and private setting makes this a particularly appealing outdoor space and one that requires relatively little immediate attention from its next owner.
Internally: Ground Floor Upon entering the property, you are welcomed directly into the modern fitted kitchen, which provides a practical and attractive starting point to the accommodation.
The kitchen has been finished in a contemporary colour design, comprising grey base units with grey wall mounted cupboards, complemented by a warm wooden effect laminate worktop.
The overall finish provides a clean, modern appearance whilst retaining a welcoming feel.
The kitchen is equipped with a logik four ring induction hob and logik oven, providing everything required for day to day cooking.
There is also a useful full-height storage cupboard, positioned immediately before entering the lounge, offering valuable additional household storage.
From the kitchen, the accommodation continues into the well presented lounge, which provides a comfortable and inviting principal reception space.
The lounge benefits from an abundance of natural daylight, particularly from the adjoining conservatory, and has been finished with neutral beige carpeting and white walls.
Tasteful wall panelling adds a further layer of character and warmth, creating a cosy yet contemporary environment that would work equally well for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests.
From the lounge, patio doors lead directly into the conservatory, providing a versatile extension to the living accommodation.
The conservatory could be utilised in a number of ways depending upon the needs of its new owners.
It would make an excellent dining area, providing a pleasant setting for meals overlooking the garden, whilst also offering the flexibility to serve as an additional reception room, children's playroom, home office or quiet sitting area.
First Floor Moving to the first floor, the property provides two well proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom offers a calm and comfortable space in which to unwind at the end of the day and enjoys pleasant views overlooking the rear garden.
The bedroom leads through to the stylishly presented three-piece family bathroom, which has been finished with full height tiling and benefits from a chrome electric towel radiator.
The neutral finish provides a clean and contemporary feel.
The second bedroom is a well sized double room which benefits from fitted wardrobes, providing excellent built in storage and helping to maximise the usable floor space.
The room also enjoys attractive views from the window and offers excellent versatility, whether utilised as a second bedroom, guest room, child's bedroom or dedicated home office.
