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.

This home is surrounded by its own spacious gardens, along with off road parking and a separate garage for additional parking or storage. Must be viewed to appreciate what the property has to offer.
Interior Generously sized rooms which are arranged over three storeys, this delightful semi-detached family home has been lovingly maintained and beautifully enhanced, combining timeless character with carefully considered modern living.
High ceilings, original architectural features and bespoke oak detailing along with an abundance of natural light, gives every room a bright and welcoming feel.
Ground Floor: Stepping through the entrance door, the hallway immediately sets the tone with original parquet flooring, elegant proportions and a beautifully crafted staircase, complete with timber detailing and stylish stair runner.

A large recessed square bay window floods the room with natural light, while a slate hearth with a log-burner provides an attractive focal point, making this the perfect place to gather with family throughout the seasons.
The generously sized dining room continues the home's characterful appeal, with rich stripped wooden floorboards adding warmth and texture beneathfoot.
French doors open directly onto the covered veranda, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend effortlessly during the warmer months, while connecting to the kitchen making entertaining both easy and sociable.
Recently installed, the stunning kitchen perfectly balances contemporary styling with the home's character.
Beautiful sage green wall and base units are complemented by light work surfaces, while elegant metal handles and a bespoke timber light fitting add thoughtful finishing touches.
A charming breakfast nook, finished with matching oak detailing, has been perfectly positioned to enjoy views over the garden-a delightful spot for morning coffee.
The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with integrated dishwasher and recycling bins, twin ovens and a five-ring gas hob, providing everything needed for modern family life.
Beyond the kitchen, the property's original rear door leads into an incredibly practical utility area.
Here there is space and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, room for a tall fridge freezer, additional storage and the Glow-worm boiler.
A separate cloakroom with WC and wash basin further enhances the practicality of this space.
With direct access to the garden, it is the perfect place to leave muddy boots, outdoor clothing and four-legged companions after long walks through the surrounding forest.
First Floor: The staircase rises to the first floor where three well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home's sense of space and character.
The generous principal bedroom benefits from two recessed storage areas, while a further spacious rear-facing double enjoys a wonderfully peaceful outlook.
A third bedroom provides an ideal child's room, guest bedroom or home office. The family bathroom has been beautifully modernised to create a luxurious retreat.
A freestanding bath takes centre stage alongside a generous walk-in shower and stylish double vanity unit, with tasteful half-height tiling completing the contemporary design.
A separate WC with wash basin offers additional convenience for busy family living, while a useful cupboard houses the hot water cylinder.
Attic Room: The second floor reveals a wonderfully versatile attic room, cleverly arranged into two distinct areas.
Currently utilised as a sleeping space together with a gaming room/dressing room/ home office, it offers the ideal teenage hideaway, creative studio or hobby room, providing flexible accommodation to suit changing family needs.
Exterior Outside, the property continues to impress.
The front garden is beautifully planted with established flowers and mature shrubs, creating an attractive country garden feel that perfectly complements the woodland surroundings.
A private driveway provides off-road parking for three vehicles and benefits from a Zappi electric vehicle charging point.
Immediately adjoining the dining room is a particularly attractive covered veranda with decked flooring, creating a wonderful extension of the living accommodation.
Draped in mature wisteria, it provides a sheltered space for morning coffee, family meals or entertaining friends long into the evening, all accompanied by the peaceful sounds of the surrounding forest.
Beyond, the lawn is framed by raised sleeper flower beds and an abundance of established planting, creating colour, texture and interest.
Mature olive and apple trees lend a distinctly cottage garden feel, while soft fruit bushes, including blackcurrants, redcurrants and gooseberries, provide a wonderful opportunity for those who enjoy growing their own produce.
Raised vegetable beds, fragrant lavender, a practical garden store and dedicated wood store further enhance this exceptional outdoor space.
As the garden flows towards the rear of the plot, a bespoke brick-built pizza oven creates an inviting focal point for outdoor entertaining and beyond this lies convenient rear access to the detached garage.
Beautifully established yet wonderfully manageable, it provides spaces to entertain, relax, cultivate and simply enjoy the tranquillity of its woodland surroundings.
This is very much a garden that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
