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
Heywood Estate Agents are delighted to welcome to the market this three bedroom detached house on Ranworth Close in the popular Westbury Park area of Newcastle under Lyme.
Set on a corner plot with driveway, detached garage and gardens, the property is in need of updating and modernisation throughout, making it an excellent project for buyers who want to put their own stamp on a home.
The house has been well cared for and benefits from double glazed windows which are already in place, but buyers will likely look to install a new kitchen and bathroom, update flooring and décor, and refresh the fittings to bring the property in line with modern standards.
With a good layout, plenty of natural light and a generous plot, it offers a solid base for improvement and the chance to add value.
Step inside to a small entrance lobby where stairs rise to the first floor.
To the left is the lounge, a comfortable room with a bay window at the front and a brick fireplace, flowing through to the dining area at the rear.
Sliding patio doors lead directly into the garden, filling the space with light and providing easy access outside.
The kitchen is also at the rear of the property with a pleasant outlook across the garden and a composite side door for outside access.
While the fittings are dated and would benefit from replacement, the space itself is practical and offers plenty of scope for redesign.
Upstairs, the landing provides loft access and an airing cupboard.
Two double bedrooms can be found, one at the front and one at the rear, along with a third single bedroom also overlooking the garden. All would benefit from redecoration and new flooring.
The family bathroom is positioned to the front and currently includes a bath, basin and wc, but would be improved with a complete refit.
Externally, the property sits on a corner plot with a lawned garden at the front. The driveway extends down the side to a detached single garage, providing good off-road parking.
The rear garden is enclosed with fencing to the boundary and is mainly laid to lawn, offering a safe and private outdoor space with potential for landscaping.
Ranworth Close is part of the well-regarded Westbury Park development, a popular location close to shops, schools and excellent transport links including the A500, M6 and Newcastle town centre.
This is a home ready for modernisation, but with sound basics in place and double glazing already installed, it represents an ideal blank canvas.
With its corner plot, detached garage and scope to create a stylish and comfortable modern home, it offers a fantastic opportunity in a sought after area.
