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
Courtenay Villa is a well proportioned three bedroom semi-detached home, set on an exceptionally generous plot and offered to the market with no onward chain.
To the front, the property boasts a substantial garden alongside a long driveway, providing ample off-road parking, leading to a carport and a detached garage.
The rear garden is equally impressive in size, offering a fantastic outdoor space with additional storage options including the garage and multiple sheds.
Internally, the property is entered via an entrance porch which leads into a welcoming hallway.
From here, you"ll find a bright bay-fronted living room, along with an open-plan sitting/dining area extending to the rear of the home.
A further reception space overlooks the garden, providing flexibility for a range of uses.
There is also a separate kitchen/diner with direct access to the carport, which in turn provides access to both the garage and the rear garden - adding to the practicality of the layout.
A convenient ground floor cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.
Upstairs, the property offers three well-sized double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage solutions such as wardrobes or cupboards.
