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
St Callans is an impressive, detached house located at the western end of Forteath Avenue, one of Elgin’s most desirable residential areas.
Sitting in an elevated position, the house and in particular the principal rooms to the front, enjoy wonderful views over ‘The Wards’ and out towards the Brown Muir and Ben Rinnes to the south.
The house dates from the early 1900s and is constructed over two storeys of stone under a slate roof. Spacious and well-appointed accommodation offers a flexible room layout.
On the ground floor, a vestibule opens into the reception hall from where doors lead to a sitting room and dining room, both of which enjoys fine south facing views.
There is a cosy living room, a separate study along with a sewing room / office and WC whilst the kitchen is located to the rear of the house.
On the first floor, the landing leads to a family bathroom, a box room / single bedroom and four further bedrooms.
The house has many of the features one would hope to find in a property of this age and character with tall, corniced ceilings, an impressive staircase with a carved handrail and balusters, deep bay windows facing to the south and open fireplaces.
Whilst the house may be considered as dated by modern standards, and could benefit from some upgrading, it is a wonderful family home which offers enormous potential.
The house is single glazed and is connected to mains gas (with gas central heating), mains water, electricity and drainage connections.
Garden The house sits in a generously sized garden which is largely enclosed by a stone wall.
The garden includes areas of lawn, well stocked borders, vegetable beds, a garden hut, several mature trees and a useful double garage with two useful adjoining stores. EPC Rating = E
