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
Welcome to Surrey Road! An excellent opportunity to acquire this spacious Victorian three-bedroom semi-detached house, situated in the popular residential area of Woolston.
Offering generous accommodation and excellent potential, the property provides plenty of space for the money and would make an ideal family home.
Upon approach, an entrance hall provides access to all ground-floor rooms, including a 13'8" lounge featuring a bay window.
Formerly the dining room, the current workshop space could easily be converted back to its original use, subject to any necessary requirements.
Further accommodation includes a ground-floor bathroom and a useful lobby leading to a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
To the rear is a generous kitchen/diner with direct access onto the garden. On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all neutrally decorated.
The 11'8" master bedroom provides a particularly good-sized main bedroom, while the white three-piece shower room benefits from a heated towel rail.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is designed for low maintenance and comprises a patio seating area leading onto a large decking area, providing a good space for outdoor entertaining.
To the front is a hardstanding driveway providing parking for two vehicles. Additional benefits include gas central heating, double glazing and the property being offered with no forward chain.
Overall, while the property would benefit from some modernisation, it offers a substantial amount of accommodation and excellent potential, making it an appealing opportunity for buyers looking for space and value in Woolston.
Location The general character of Surrey Road and Woolston is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past.
Developed from a small rural settlement into substantial residential suburb, Woolston now benefits from an outstanding selection of local shops, amenities and cafés including a Lidl Supermarket (0.3 miles), Superdrug and Boots (0.5 miles).
Exceptional schools are nearby including the St. Patricks Catholic School (0.5 miles) and the Woolston Infant School (0.4 miles).
Other local points include: Archery Grounds (200ft), Weston Shore (0.4 miles), Westwood Woodland Park (1.0 mile), Shoreburs Greenway (0.1 miles), local pubs and bars including the Obelisk (0.3 miles), Quayside (0.4 miles) and Mettricks (0.3 miles), Woolston Train Station (0.7 miles) and although you can spend most days relaxing by the river and basking in the tranquil setting, the fast-paced city of Southampton is just a stone's throw away.
A short journey across the Itchen Bridge (0.7 miles) will take you to Southampton City Centre where you can enjoy a hearty meal in a traditional English pub or treat yourself to some fine dining in a Michelin star restaurant in Ocean Village, Southampton City Centre, the new Cultural Quarter and Oxford Street.
