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
Positioned within a highly regarded residential setting, Elms Road presents a beautifully extended and thoughtfully upgraded family home.
Offering generous living space, quality finishes and a west-facing garden ideal for modern family life.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway framed by lawn and mature shrubbery, with the added benefit of an EV charging point.
Stepping through the entrance porch, complete with underfloor heating, the home immediately conveys comfort and attention to detail.
The welcoming entrance hall, finished with engineered wood flooring, provides access to the principal ground floor spaces and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond.
To the front of the property, the living room offers an elegant yet cosy retreat, enhanced by a gas fireplace, bow window and bespoke built-in shelving with background lighting.
A separate family room provides further flexibility, perfect as a playroom, snug or secondary sitting area.
To the rear, the home opens into a stunning orangery and kitchen-dining space, creating a true heart-of-the-home environment.
The orangery, with its lantern roof and wet underfloor heating, draws in natural light and offers an inviting space for relaxation or entertaining throughout the seasons.
Bi-fold doors from the orangery lead perfectly into the garden.
Flowing seamlessly from here, the kitchen is fitted to a high standard with granite work surfaces and upstands, a Villeroy & Boch butler sink with Insinkerator, Rangemaster double oven with proving drawer and matching fridge/freezer.
Underfloor heating beneath tiled flooring ensures comfort, while doors opening onto the west-facing garden create an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for families.
The principal bedroom benefits from a feature bow window, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests or home working.
The family bathroom is stylishly appointed, featuring a freestanding bath with mixer tap and handheld shower, separate shower enclosure, vanity unit and heated towel rail, creating a spa-like space for everyday use.
Externally, the west-facing rear garden is designed for both enjoyment and practicality, with lawn, decorative stone areas and outside lighting making it ideal for entertaining or relaxing in the afternoon and evening sun.
The garage benefits from power, lighting and plumbing, adding valuable storage or workshop potential.
The current owners of the property have taken a portion of the garage and turned it into laundry facilities.
Accessed with its own door to the side, this portion of the garage benefits from being insulated and has a sink, power, and plumbing for washing machines.
Elms Road is well positioned for access to local schools, amenities and transport links, while maintaining a peaceful residential feel.
Combining character features, modern upgrades and flexible family living space, this is a home that offers both comfort and long-term appeal in one of Darlington's most desirable locations.
