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.

Property Description This beautifully presented, traditional three-bedroom detached residence offers a fantastic combination of classic character, generous proportions, and highly versatile living space.
A major asset to this property is the inclusion of granted planning permission for an extension, offering the incoming buyer an incredible, hassle-free opportunity to add significant value and customise the layout to their exact specifications.
Set back from the road, the home is approached via a private driveway providing convenient off-road parking, leading to the main entrance porch and garage. The driveway itself was renewed in 2023.
The ground floor layout boasts two exceptionally spacious reception rooms designed to cater effortlessly to both formal entertaining and relaxed family life.
To the front sits an elegant bay-fronted lounge featuring a deep curved bay window that floods the room with natural light.
To the rear is a second grand reception room, showcasing decorative ceiling detailing and impressive fully opening bi-fold doors that create a seamless connection to the private rear garden, perfectly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Towards the rear of the home is a spacious breakfast kitchen fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, drawer and base units, complete with an inset sink, space for a cooker, and plumbing for a washing machine.
The kitchen is supported by a walk-in pantry offering ample shelved storage and space for a fridge/freezer.
Directly accessible from the kitchen is a useful utility room, which connects to a highly practical ground-floor guest WC and provides direct access to the oversized garage.
The garage, utility room and downstairs WC were all constructed in 2019, adding valuable modern practicality to this traditional home.
The garage features an up-and-over front door, a pedestrian side door and wall-mounted boiler. The first-floor accommodation continues to deliver impressive space, centred around a bright landing.
The substantial principal bedroom mirrors the ground floor architecture with its own deep curved bay window and benefits from a versatile walk-in storage room.
Offering excellent future potential, this space retains plumbing connections and could be converted into an en-suite WC, subject to any necessary consents.
There are two further excellent bedrooms—a spacious second double and a generous third bedroom—both overlooking the rear garden.
All bedrooms are served by a modern, fully tiled family bathroom, newly installed in 2022, featuring a sleek vanity wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
Furthermore, a pull-down ladder from the landing leads up to a fantastic boarded loft room complete with a skylight window, offering ideal potential for a hobby room, home office or additional storage.
Outside, the property opens onto a beautifully established and enclosed rear garden.
Accessed via either the second reception room or the rear door through the utility, the outdoor space features a paved patio area ideal for alfresco dining, a manicured lawn and an array of mature trees and shrubs that provide a lovely, private backdrop.
Completing the garden is a substantial shed set on proper foundations, providing excellent storage or workshop potential and included within the sale.
