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
"The garden offers a quiet sanctuary to enjoy a morning coffee or wind down after work and to escape the hustle of the city.
The house is light, open and allows for distinct spaces to enjoy when entertaining or relaxing.
We will miss our home, neighbours and easy access to all that the local surroundings offer." The home A beautifully polished two bedroom Victorian semi-detached house with a stylish, on trend finish and warm, homely vibe.
Walking up the pathway through the pretty front garden you know this is going to be a special home.
The sense of quality is immediate as you enter the hallway, with a beautiful engineered Oak floor that continues throughout the ground floor and elegant colour palate, it's a wonderful first impression.
The lounge is the perfect space for Winter evenings with shuttered windows and a striking fireplace.
The open plan kitchen/dining room is a show stopper, with loads of natural light it's a super social space and perfect for hosting.
The kitchen itself is brilliantly designed to maximise space and practicality whilst maintaining the sophisticated theme with polished wood counter tops and high end appliances.
At the rear of the ground floor is a snug/sunroom that's flooded with natural light through the French doors and Velux windows, a great place to chill out with a book or podacast at any time of year.
Rounding off the ground floor is a beautiful bathroom with roll top free standing bath , separate shower and slate floor.
Upstairs are two excellent double bedrooms with stripped flooring and loads of storage.
The outside The front garden is enclosed by a pretty stone wall and features an ornamental cherry tree and hedging.
The rear garden is quite frankly incredible, with a Southerly aspect and exceptional privacy, it's the finest I've seen in the area.
The large stone patio is a great space for hosting garden parties and barbecues or just soaking up the sun in peace.
Moving further down there are stone built outhouses which could easily be transformed into a studio or a dedicated home office.
Beyond these the garden opens up into a beautiful lawned area with mature fruit trees and stocked borders.
At the end of garden is a well established vegetable garden, further seating area, greenhouse and even a Palm Tree!!
