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
An impeccably presented and generously proportioned four-bedroom detached family home boasting around 1,900 sq ft of stylishly appointed living accommodation, alongside beautifully maintained gardens and a double garage; peacefully situated within a select development of homes on the perimeter of Dudleston Heath, near Ellesmere.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 5 Fox Close in Dudleston Heath for sale by private treaty.
5 Fox Close is an impressively proportioned four-bedroom detached family home which boasts almost 1,900 sq ft of thoughtfully arranged and carefully maintained living accommodation situated across two particularly family-friendly floors.
The ground floor offers a selection of versatile Reception Rooms centred around a delightfully open-plan Kitchen/Dining Room; these complemented by four comfortably sized first floor Bedrooms, two of which benefit from recently modernised En-Suites, and a family Bathroom which, again, benefits from modernisation.
The property is centrally positioned within excellent gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.15ac, these comprising ample driveway parking for a number of vehicles, a detached double garage, and exquisitely improved and meticulously maintained rear gardens featuring a selection of mature planting, lawns, and established floral beds.
Situation - 5 Fox Close occupies a desirable position at the culmination of a select development of homes on the fringes of the rural village of Dudleston Heath, which, whilst enjoying immediate access to the celebrated north Shropshire countryside, enjoys a respectable array of day-to-day amenities, including Post Office, Church, and Village Hall.
The village is conveniently placed for travel to the nearby town of Ellesmere, which lies astride The Mere, a noted local landmark, and offers a wider range of amenities, with the local county centres of Wrexham and Shrewsbury both within a reasonable commuting distance.
Schooling - The property is conveniently placed for access to a number of well regarded state and private schools, including Ellesmere Primary, Lakelands Academy, Criftins C of E Primary (rated outstanding), St.Martins School, and Ellesmere College.
The Property - The property is principally accessed via a covered external Porch which opens into a welcoming Reception Hall featuring engineered oak flooring and ample space for furnishings, alongside a door which opens to the right into a versatile Reception Room currently utilised as a Play Room but with scope for use as an Office, Gym, or fifth/guest Bedroom, depending on the needs of the buyer.
Serving as the heart of this especially family-oriented home is a generously proportioned Kitchen/Dining Room, this extending to around 450 sq ft and featuring a stylish selection of fitted base and wall units positioned before an open plan area intended for dining, this then seguing through to a calmer seating area with triple aspect glazing and patio door which exit onto the garden, allowing the room to readily function as an entertaining space or for more intimate family moments.
Also accessed off the Hallway is a comfortable Living Room with bi-fold doors that open onto the gloriously improved gardens, thus affording the property a seamless transition between the internal and external elements of the home.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful Utility Room, accessed from the Kitchen, and a Cloakroom.
Stairs rise to a first floor landing, from where doors allow access into four comfortably sized Bedrooms, each able to accommodate double beds and with the Master and Bedroom two benefitting from stylishly appointed En-Suite Shower Rooms; with both Bedrooms also boasting integrated storage.
Bedrooms three and four are served by a family Bathroom which features an attractive fitted suite comprising a bath, low-flush WC, and hand basin.
Outside - The property is situated within a generous corner plot which extends to around 0.15ac and is accessed over a double-width block-paved driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles, this leading on to a detached double Garage (approx.
5.75m x 5.46m) with vehicular front access door and pedestrian door from the gardens.
The rear gardens are a particularly notable feature of the property and enjoy a desirable southerly aspect, whilst having been transformed by the current vendors into a cornucopia of established planting and delightful seating areas.
An expanse of shaped lawn is bordered by a range of well-stocked floral and herbaceous beds and flanked to one side by a productive cottage garden and, to the other, by a patio area from which one can sit and enjoy the calibre of the setting.
