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.

The second bedroom is also a double with window to rear aspect and nice outlook.
On this level and to the rear of the house is the bathroom which is a good size and has a fitted white three piece suite including a shower over the bath as well as a large storage cupboard which also houses the boiler.
