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
**no onward chain** An exciting opportunity to purchase this fully renovated and two double-bedroom detached bungalow, located in the backwaters of Donnington Square, a sought-after part of Newbury within walking distance of Waitrose and the town centre.
Occupying a good-size plot with generous landscaped gardens and a sizeable driveway leading to a double-garage, this ready to move into bungalow still offers the potential to convert the roof into additional bedrooms – subject to planning consent.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully remodelled around a central hallway, creating a main living space that can enjoy the most of what the gardens have to offer – privacy and colour with interesting details.
A refitted kitchen/breakfast room, with integrated appliances and quartz worktops, is separated with a large open archway from the spacious living room, with its dual aspects that include bi-folding doors opening to a porcelain patio.
On the opposite side of the hallway are two generous double bedrooms, with a bay window in the main room and a chimneybreast on the second.
Both offer ample spaces for a kingsize double, wardrobes and additional furniture. The share a fully tiled and refitted shower room and for ultra convenience, includes a towel heating radiator.
The accommodation is cleverly heated by a newly installed central heating system, combining radiators with an electric boiler.
Other features include double-glazing and the bi-folding doors that bring the garden into the property.
Notably, the loft is significantly large too and offers the opportunity to create additional accommodation, subject to planning and building consent.
Outside, the landscaped gardens wrap around the rear of the bungalow from double gates on one side to a second pedestrian gate between the garage and the bungalow.
A porcelain patio extends from the bi-fold doors to the lush green lawns that extend out to the enclosed boundaries of timber fences and raised flowerbeds.
An additional section elevates to the southern side end that offers options for creating a specialist garden section or a children’s play space.
The front driveway easily provides private parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a garage fitted with an automated front door, power sockets and lighting.
Potentially up to three cars can fit inside the garage, which undoubtedly will be a brilliant workshop for those keen on engineering.
Quietly tucked away, this bungalow also sits within easy reach of local shops and schools, with the A34 and M4, Jct 13 only 3.5miles away (7-10mins). **draft details - subject to approval**
