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
Set on the Ridgeway in the heart of Marshalswick, this beautifully extended Nash-built semi-detached family home offers around 2,490 sq ft of versatile living space, including the impressive garden room.
With five bedrooms, generous living areas and a fantastic open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, it is a home that has been thoughtfully designed around modern family life.
The location is a big part of what makes this home so appealing.
Sandringham School is just a short walk away, while The Quadrant is close by for those everyday essentials, coffee stops and local shops.
When you fancy heading into the city, St Albans city centre is within easy reach, giving you plenty of choice for brunches, shopping, restaurants, pubs and evenings with friends.
Arriving at the property, there is a smart driveway providing plenty of off-street parking, together with a well-kept front garden.
Step inside and the spacious entrance hall immediately gives you a sense of the scale of the house, with a useful ground floor cloakroom adding to the practicality.
To the front is a generous living room, a lovely space to escape to at the end of the day.
With plenty of natural light, there is room for everyone to settle down together for a film, enjoy a quiet evening or simply have a little more separation from the main family space.
The rear of the house is where everyday life really comes together.
The impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room provides a wonderful space for busy mornings, relaxed family dinners and entertaining friends.
The modern kitchen features sleek cabinetry, quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a large breakfast bar, while skylights and wide bifold doors flood the room with natural light.
The bifold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between the house and outside space.
In the warmer months, the garden becomes a natural extension of the living accommodation, whether you are enjoying a family barbecue, having friends over or simply watching the children play while you relax inside.
Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room and a garage, providing plenty of practical storage and keeping the everyday household jobs neatly out of sight.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three generous double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with attractive views across the surrounding fields, a generous dressing room and an en-suite shower room.
It is a peaceful space to start and finish the day, with the open outlook adding to the feeling of space.
The top floor provides two further bedrooms and a handy W.C, making this an incredibly flexible home for a growing family.
The additional bedrooms could easily be used for children, teenagers, guests or even as dedicated home working space, depending on what your family needs.
Useful eaves storage adds another practical touch. Outside, the rear garden has a lovely open aspect and has been designed with both relaxation and family life in mind.
A generous decked area provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and summer evenings, while the lawn gives children plenty of room to play.
At the end of the garden is a substantial garden room, adding another valuable piece of living space.
Whether you need a home office, games room, gym, creative space or somewhere for teenagers to escape to, it gives the house even more flexibility.
With its generous proportions, five bedrooms, fantastic family kitchen and excellent outdoor space, this is a home that offers plenty of room to grow into.
Add in the convenience of Sandringham School, The Quadrant and easy access to St Albans city centre, and it is easy to see why this is such a great setting for family life.
A home of this size and flexibility in such a convenient part of Marshalswick deserves to be seen in person to fully appreciate just how much it has to offer.
