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
Oak Road is an impressive and versatile three/four-bedroom semi-detached family home, thoughtfully arranged over three floors and finished to a high standard.
The property has been lovingly renovated by the current owners, combining modern design with practical family living.
The home is entered via a raised ground floor, where a welcoming entrance hall with wooden flooring sets the tone, complemented by a striking solid oak and glass balustrade running through the property.
This level offers a versatile fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, a beautifully appointed four-piece family bathroom, and a further well-proportioned bedroom.
On the upper floor, there are two generous double bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom which benefits from a unique staircase leading to an additional dressing or storage area, adding both character and functionality.
The lower ground floor forms the true heart of the home, with a superb open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, cleverly arranged to provide defined areas while maintaining a sociable flow.
The living area sits to the front, with the dining space centrally positioned, and a modern fitted kitchen to the rear featuring contemporary units and a hidden ground floor WC.
Bi-fold doors open onto an immaculate rear garden, which is notably larger than average for the area, creating a perfect setting for entertaining and family life.
Further benefits include underfloor heating to both the lower and raised ground floors, and the property is presented in excellent decorative order throughout.
