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 Meadow is a substantial and individually designed four bedroom detached home, occupying an extensive private plot within St Johns Mews.
Set behind electric double gates, the property offers a rare combination of generous family accommodation, extensive parking, mature grounds and an open countryside outlook to the rear.
The scale of the house is immediately apparent upon entering the impressive entrance hall.
Its timber staircase rises to a large galleried landing, creating a striking central feature and a genuine sense of space across both floors. There is a superb choice of reception accommodation.
The main living room is a particularly generous space with a feature fireplace and rear-facing bay window.
A separate dining room opens into the conservatory, where French doors provide direct access to the garden.
An additional family room offers further flexibility and could be used as a second sitting room, games room, home office or playroom, depending on the buyer’s requirements.
At the heart of the home is the substantial family kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of units and incorporating a breakfast bar. An adjoining pantry provides useful additional storage.
The separate utility room is arranged as a second kitchen and is large enough to accommodate an additional dining area, making it particularly practical for entertaining or a larger household.
A ground floor cloakroom/WC completes this level. The impressive galleried landing leads to four well proportioned double bedrooms.
The main bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and a spacious en-suite bathroom with both a spa bath and separate shower.
Bedroom two has fitted storage and Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom, while bedroom three also includes fitted wardrobes. The fourth bedroom is another comfortable double room.
A large family bathroom, fitted with a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure, serves the remaining bedrooms.
Externally, electric double gates open onto an extensive driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and access to both sides of the property and the attached double garage.
The large enclosed rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and includes extensive patio and decking areas adjoining the house.
The garden borders open fields, creating an attractive rural outlook and a notable sense of space and tranquility.
The property enjoys a high degree of privacy and is not directly overlooked from either the front or rear.
Properties offering this combination of internal space, extensive grounds, privacy and countryside views are rarely available.
Viewing is essential to appreciate the full scale and setting of The Meadow.
