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
24 Pentley Park was designed in the mid 1930s by a talented German architect, as his family's own home, employing a modernist style.
This remarkable residence, within short walking distance of the vibrant town centre, offers spacious, bright, flexible accommodation.
Surrounded by a mature, wrap-around garden, a generous paved driveway in front of a double garage, provides parking for multiple vehicles.
Inside, a broad, welcoming entrance hall, presents a door to the first of three spacious reception rooms on the right.
A newly-installed, stylish electric fire place provides an impressive focal point in this large sitting room at the front of the property and a set of original, broad, sliding wooden doors separate this room from the dining room beyond, from where the significant south-facing portion of the garden can be accessed via a set of patio doors.
Interior glazed doors lead through from the dining room into the extended part of the house, which was originally built as a self-contained annexe and is currently used a a third reception room.
This bright, dual-aspect room overlooks the east and south areas of the garden via two large windows, which are characteristic of this exceptional home.
In addition, this room benefits from deep fitted cupboards, a wall of built-in shelves and access to a fully-tiled shower room.
A door leads from here into a utility room with an external door to the garden.
The family-orientated kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the property has its fair share of original, unique design features, including a special hidden contraption!
The kitchen is very practical by design and boasts a superb pantry, a deep window sill with a huge window overlooking the garden, a built-in gas hob, a comprehensive range of kitchen units and plenty of work top space.
The craftsmanship is especially impressive in the hallway and features a superb staircase with expertly designed cloakroom cupboards and thoughtfully built-in bespoke storage solutions.
Behind the staircase, a door leads into a porch, beyond which an expansive patio lies, along with a door to the double garage which has power sockets, lights and two broad, openable windows.
Upstairs, a bright, broad landing gives access to three large double bedrooms and a fully-tiled family bathroom with heated towel rail.
All three bedrooms have their own wash basins, fitted wardrobes and enjoy terrific views of the gardens and attractive surroundings beyond.
The largest bedroom boasts extensive fitted wardrobes as well as a unique corner arrangement of windows, from which a panoramic view of the property's charming surroundings can be enjoyed.
There is also access from the landing up into a superb loft room which benefits from gas central heating and a door leading out onto a roof terrace with fabulous views all round.
