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 Charming Traditional Semi Detached Cottage Style Villa will be of broad appeal, beautifully presented and ready to move-in.
Deceptive externally, this most appealing character home has been much loved by its owners who have re-styled the property both internally and externally.
Featuring 4 Main Apartments over 2 levels with some period features retained, complemented by a stylish modern specification.
The rear garden in particular is a wonderful outside space to enjoy with much valued private parking also provided (access lane to the rear of the property).
The comfortable/well proportioned accommodation comprises on ground floor, welcoming reception hall with charming period staircase as focal point (leading to bedrooms on upper level), attractively presented twin public rooms of lounge to the front with dining/family room to the rear, very stylish/well equipped “Galley Style” kitchen also to the rear with door onto inviting private rear gardens, the modern bathroom (bath replaced with shower) is off the reception hall.
On the upper level, 2 double bedrooms (note – coombed ceilings) to the front & rear respectively with useful walk-in store off bedroom No 2 (to the rear).
The specification includes both gas central heating and double glazing. EPC – D.
Neatly presented gardens are provided to the front & rear, attractively landscaped by the current owners, with the rear in particular being a wonderful outdoor space in which to relax on those “better weather” days.
A gated entrance from the rear lane leads onto a private hardstanding parking area with a detached garage providing secure parking/storage.
On-street parking is also available (subject to local authority regulations). Ayr is located on the South West Coast of Scotland, its coastline location proves popular with locals & visitors alike.
A wide array of local amenities are accessible whilst the A77/A79 provides links north or south.
Public transport including regular train/bus services from Ayr are available whilst Prestwick Airport is within easy travelling distance.
Ayr/Alloway has an excellent choice of well regarded schooling whilst private schooling is available via Wellington School.
Ayrshire is famed for its Golf Courses, historical connection with “the Poet” Robert Burns and many worthy historical attractions …and of course its sweeping seafront.
In our view… a rare opportunity to acquire a charming Character Home which is ideal for those wishing to leave their car and benefit from simply being able to walk to the town centre, public transport (including the train to Glasgow & further afield) or taking in the wonderful seafront views from walking along the promenade.
