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
Step into the porch, an ideal space for coats and shoes, into a bright and inviting hallway that immediately conveys the home’s generous sense of space.
The main lounge, situated off the hallway, offers a comfortable setting with ample room for both relaxation and entertaining.
A stylish inset gas fire creates an attractive focal point, adding warmth and character, while its connection to the rest of the home ensures an easy, natural flow that suits everyday living.
At the heart of the home sits the kitchen and dining area—a sociable and practical space.
The kitchen features a range of wall and base units, contrasting tiled splashbacks, an integrated five‐burner gas hob, electric oven, and integrated dishwasher, offering both functionality and style.
Just off the kitchen, the utility room provides valuable additional workspace with worktops and space for appliances, leading into a bright sun room, currently utilised as an additional dining area, which could also serve as a second sitting room.
Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom complete with its own shower room, offering privacy for guests or flexibility for those who prefer ground‐floor living.
A convenient cloakroom completes this level. Moving upstairs, the first floor opens onto a bright landing that leads to three further bedrooms.
The main bedroom on this level feels calm and spacious, offering the standout feature of a balcony with views over the town.
Two additional bedrooms provide excellent versatility for family, guests, or home office setups.
The main family bathroom is also located here, featuring a modern three‐piece suite, tiling, and an electric shower over the bath, thoughtfully positioned for easy access from all rooms.
On the lower ground floor, a generous storage room offers valuable additional space, ideal for seasonal items, hobbies, or household overflow.
Externally, the property offers a low‐maintenance frontage with parking available on the drive.
To the rear, the garden is beautifully landscaped with a mix of gravel, artificial lawn, and established planting, creating an attractive and easy-care outdoor space.
A charming gazebo and patio area provide ideal spots for relaxing or entertaining. The home also benefits from a substantial detached garage offering secure parking or useful workshop/storage space.
