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.

Inside, a generous entrance hall welcomes you with under-stairs storage, access to a downstairs cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor.
The lounge is rich in period charm, featuring a tiled floor and a cosy log-burning stove, and flows through to a light-filled conservatory and dining room which provides an ideal space for quiet study, relaxed dining or entertaining.
