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.

31 Thorpefield Close sits quietly within that, on a small close backing onto mature trees, with the Wentworth Estate and open countryside starting a few fields to the north.
A porch opens into the foyer, where a useful store cupboard is set into the wall.
The living room runs across the front of the house at 3.64m x 4.00m (11'11" x 13'1"), with a window to the front elevation and a radiator set beneath it.
To the rear, the kitchen measures 3.64m x 2.54m (11'11" x 8'4") and is arranged in an L-shape with a pantry cupboard, integrated dishwasher space, and a hob and sink both looking out over the garden.
Beyond it, the sunroom which doubles as a dining space at 3.71m x 2.35m (12'2" x 7'9") is glazed on three sides and gives direct access outside.
Upstairs, a landing of 1.88m x 1.56m (6'2" x 5'1") serves both bedrooms and the bathroom.
The master bedroom is 3.37m x 2.89m (11'1" x 9'6") with a built-in wardrobe along one wall and a window to the front.
The second bedroom measures 2.69m x 2.19m (8'10" x 7'2") and takes light from the rear, with a storage area that adds hanging or shelving space.
The bathroom is 1.92m x 1.78m (6'4" x 5'10") and fitted with a bath, over the bath shower, basin and WC.

For eating and drinking there is The Masons Arms on Thorpe Street, a real ale pub dating from 1878 with a large garden and heated sheds, along with The Red Lion and The Horse & Tiger on Brook Hill, The Ball at Hesley Bar, and Thorpe Coffee + Kitchen for breakfast and brunch.
The Barley on Smithy Wood Road and The Bay Horse at Scholes are both a short drive.
