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
This chain free 1930s bay-fronted semi-detached, two-bathroom home with garage offers generous space now, with clear scope to extend as your family grows.
Step inside and you’ll immediately see the potential beyond the four walls.
The layout already works beautifully for family life, while still offering exciting opportunities to expand and add value in the future.
Set in the heart of South Luton, this extended home comes with off-road parking and a garage, perfectly positioned for everyday convenience.
Stockwood Park’s open green spaces are close by, Junction 10 of the M1 and Luton Airport are just minutes away with the town centre and mainline station only a twenty-minute walk.
Located at the top end of Harcourt Street, the home is ideally placed for families who want everything within easy reach, well-regarded schools, local shops, parks and excellent commuter links - making this a practical, welcoming place to settle and grow.
The Practical Considerations. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazingpossession throughout, offered chain free with vacant in need of light refurbishment.
The modern fitted kitchen is finished in attractive cream shaker-style units and is equipped with integrated electric hob, double oven and extractor hood overhead, along with an integrated fridge/freezer.
The property benefits from a fully fitted ground floor shower room, complete with a modern white three-piece suite.
There is also scope to reconfigure this space to incorporate a utility area, freeing up valuable storage within the kitchen.
The attached garage is located to the side of the house and is accessed via a personal door, with the boiler neatly housed within. It also features an electric roller door operated by remote control.
To the front and rear are gardens predominantly laid to lawn.
The front garden includes a driveway, wrought iron gates and a half height brick boundary wall, while the landscaped rear garden offers multiple terraced levels with patio and useful wooden sheds providing excellent storage.
The property offers excellent potential for extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions. There is scope to extend to the side, over the garage and further to the rear.
The garage also lends itself to conversion into an additional ground floor bedroom or reception room.
The adjoining property has already converted their loft, setting a helpful precedent for similar development. Please note, this is a probate sale where probate has been granted.
As such, there is limited information available relating to the property.
Buyers are advised to rely on their own enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the condition and safety of the electrical and gas installations.
