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 Barleycroft Road in the sought-after West Side of Welwyn Garden City, this three-bedroom home offers generous living space, a large rear garden, off-road parking and a garage.
The property also presents clear scope to extend or modernise further (subject to planning permission).
The ground floor features two bright and versatile reception rooms, ideal for everyday living or entertaining, along with a separate kitchen overlooking the garden that leads to a 'garden room', utility area and downstairs w/c.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom provide comfortable family accommodation. A standout feature is the sizeable, private rear garden.
An excellent space for relaxing, gardening or outdoor dining. The plot also offers strong potential for future extension (STPP).
There is also side access from the front of the house straight through to the garden between the house and the garage.
Barleycroft Road is a highly regarded West Side location within easy reach of Welwyn Garden City town centre, the mainline station, well-regarded schools and numerous parks and green spaces.
A rare opportunity to secure a home with excellent space, charm and future potential in one of the area’s most desirable pockets. (Leasehold, approx. 900 years remaining.
Buyers should make their own enquiries regarding historic alterations.)
