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
Set within the popular Lowerhouses area, this attractive true bungalow is a home with far more to offer than first meets the eye.
Generous proportions, wonderfully flexible accommodation and a large wraparound garden create a property that can adapt beautifully to different chapters of life, whether bringing generations together, working from home or simply enjoying the luxury of additional space.
Adding further peace of mind, the property has also benefited from a complete new roof, installed approximately six months ago.
Outside, established planting, generous lawns, four established fruit trees and an abundance of greenery create a beautiful setting around the home, with a choice of patios providing inviting spots for morning coffee, summer dining or relaxing as the day draws to a close.
Adding another dimension is the converted garage with an additional kitchen/utility area and independent external access.
Ideal for those running a business from home, visitors can come and go without passing through the main property, while the flexible layout also offers exciting potential for multi-generational living and a more independent space for extended family.
Spacious yet homely and filled with possibilities, this is a property designed to grow and adapt with its owners, while remaining a wonderful place for family to come together.
EPC Rating: D Kitchen Beautifully appointed and generously proportioned, the kitchen is an inviting space where timeless finishes meet everyday practicality.
Oak wall and base cabinetry brings a natural warmth and richness to the room, elegantly contrasted by stone-effect work surfaces to create a sophisticated and considered finish.
Designed with both everyday cooking and entertaining in mind, the kitchen is equipped with a five-ring gas hob and extractor, integrated oven and integrated fridge freezer, alongside a stainless-steel sink and plumbing for a washing machine.
The generous oak cabinetry provides ample storage while maintaining the room’s refined and uncluttered feel, with a door opening to the side of the property for convenient access outdoors.
Living Dining Generously proportioned and wonderfully sociable, the living and dining room provides plenty of space to bring family and friends together.
A substantial dining area creates the perfect setting for everything from relaxed family meals to evenings spent entertaining, while the spacious living area allows for multiple seating arrangements gathered around an electric fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
A large window to the side draws plenty of natural light into the room, enhancing its bright and welcoming feel, while a door provides convenient access towards the rear of the property, creating an easy flow between the living accommodation and the spaces beyond.
Orangery Bathed in natural light, the orangery provides a wonderful additional living space, with an abundance of windows creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day.
Soft carpeting and a timeless finish give the room a warm and comfortable feel, while the generous proportions allow for a variety of seating arrangements, making it ideal as a second sitting room or a peaceful place to relax and unwind.
Two large radiators ensure the room remains warm and welcoming throughout the seasons, allowing this beautiful space to be enjoyed all year round.
Doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection with the outdoors and an effortless flow between inside and out during the warmer months.
Bedroom 1 A generously proportioned double bedroom, offering a comfortable and inviting space with soft grey carpeting underfoot.
Fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage while maintaining the spacious feel of the room, with the added convenience of a built-in wash hand basin.
A particularly lovely feature is the set of sliding doors opening directly into the orangery, creating a wonderful sense of connection between the two spaces and allowing natural light to flow beautifully through the room.
Bedroom 2 Positioned to the front of the property, bedroom two is another beautifully proportioned double room, thoughtfully designed to combine comfort with practical storage.
Fitted wardrobes provide plenty of space for clothing while a built-in dressing area with a mirror creates a dedicated spot to sit and get ready each morning.
Bedroom 3 A wonderfully versatile single bedroom, currently styled as an additional sitting area, demonstrating just how easily the space can adapt to suit different needs.
Equally well suited as a child’s bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office, it provides the flexibility to create a separate workspace without having to compromise either of the larger bedrooms.
Bathroom The family bathroom is thoughtfully arranged to offer both comfort and practicality, with easy-care linoleum flooring complemented by tiling around the shower area.
A bath with an overhead shower provides the flexibility for a relaxing soak or a quick morning shower, alongside a WC and wash hand basin.
Fitted cabinetry above and beneath the basin provides useful storage for everyday essentials, helping to keep the space neat and uncluttered.
Garage Thoughtfully converted to offer far more than traditional garage storage, this highly versatile space opens up a wealth of possibilities for its new owners.
Particularly appealing to anyone running a business from home, the area provides valuable additional storage alongside a second kitchen/utility space, helping to keep work and everyday home life comfortably separated.
Equally, the space lends itself beautifully to those looking for a little more independence and flexibility within the home, whether for older children, extended family or simply additional practical space to complement the main accommodation.
Adaptable and full of potential, it is a valuable addition that can evolve to suit a variety of lifestyles and needs.
Front Garden Creating an attractive approach to the home, the front garden combines a well-kept lawn with established planted areas, bringing greenery and character from the moment you arrive.
A pebbled area adds a practical, low-maintenance finish, while the existing driveway provides off-road parking for one vehicle.
The generous frontage also offers scope to be adapted to accommodate additional vehicles, allowing future owners to tailor the space to suit their needs.
Rear Garden Wrapping beautifully around the property, the generously sized garden feels like a true extension of the home, combining established greenery, open lawn and thoughtfully positioned spaces to sit and unwind.
Mature planting brings colour and character throughout, complemented by four established fruit trees that add to the garden’s charm and make this a particularly appealing setting for those with a love of gardening.
A substantial lawn provides plenty of room for family life, while multiple patio areas positioned around the property create inviting spots for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine.
Steps lead directly into the orangery, allowing the garden to flow naturally back into the home and creating a lovely connection between indoor and outdoor living.
