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 delightful elevated three-bedroom semi-detached home in the sought-after village of Arnside.
This charming property boasts bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas, a welcoming sun room, and an enclosed rear garden with mature fruit trees.
Enjoy glimpses of the estuary from the first and third bedrooms, along with open field views to the rear.
Further benefits include a garage, off-road parking, and excellent transport links via nearby bus, rail and the M6.
Ideally situated close to local amenities, this is a wonderful opportunity to secure a home in a desirable location.
The property also benefits from approved planning permission for a single story wrap around extension.
Enter 8 Hollins Lane through the entrance porch and into a welcoming hallway, where stairs rise to the upper floors and an understairs cupboard provides useful storage.
To the right lies the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with stripped wooden flooring throughout and a sun room at the rear.
The living area features a charming bay window with elevated views across the estuary and fells beyond, and a striking wood-burning stove set on a stone hearth with red brick back within an inglenook fireplace.
An archway leads into the dining area, which benefits from a storage cupboard within the fireplace recess and a decorative cast-iron fireplace.
The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units with worktops over, a breakfast bar, one-and-a-half ceramic sink with drainer, Bosch electric oven, four-ring gas hob with extractor, tiled splashbacks, and space for an upright fridge-freezer.

On the first floor, the main bedroom overlooks the front with glimpses of the Kent Estuary, while the second bedroom enjoys views over open fields and includes a storage cupboard.
The family bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising bath, pedestal wash basin, WC, and shower enclosure, complemented by wall tiling and a ladder-style towel radiator.
A further staircase leads to the second floor, where bedroom three enjoys a Velux window framing estuary views, eaves storage, and note should be made of restricted head height.
Externally, the property offers ample off-road parking to the front for several vehicles, along with a garage.
Side access leads to a patio with wood store, while the rear garden is tiered and mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedgerows, trees, and shrubs.
