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
A deceptively spacious and beautifully upgraded bungalow, tucked away in a convenient village with pretty gardens and a double garage.
The Property - Quietly positioned away from busy traffic, this attractive modern bungalow appears to have been lovingly maintained both inside and out.
The spacious and flexible layout reveals far more room than you might expect, while thoughtful built-in storage and light, modern décor create a bright and welcoming feel from the moment you walk in.
A perfect, low-maintenance choice for those wanting the ease of single-storey living.
Accommodation - Positioned at the front of the property, a contemporary double-glazed door opens into a practical porch, leading through to a spacious and welcoming hallway.
Wood-effect flooring, light décor and recessed downlighters create a cohesive, modern feel throughout.
To one side, a substantial sitting room overlooks the front garden, with a contemporary electric fire forming an attractive focal point.
Double doors open into a generous garden room featuring an abundance of fitted units and enjoying a dual aspect across the gardens.
French doors lead directly onto an appealing south-west facing decking area.
Opposite the entrance hall is a fitted kitchen with space for dining, appointed with modern cream gloss units, drawers and pull-out larder storage, along with integrated appliances including a NEFF hob with cooker hood above and an electric oven, plus provision for an additional integrated appliance if desired.
An under-counter integrated fridge provides everyday convenience, with further space for a freezer available in the adjoining utility room.
The utility room is also well fitted with a range of white gloss units and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
A door leads to the rear lobby, where a separate boot room houses the oil-fired boiler, creating a warm and practical area for coats and footwear, aided by further fitted storage.
Beyond the entrance hall, an inner hallway provides access to both a separate cloakroom and a stylishly fitted shower room.
The former third bedroom is ideal for occasional guests or use as a home office, while the second bedroom is a generous double overlooking the rear garden.
The principal bedroom suite is equally impressive, benefitting from its own en-suite shower room with includes a further range of additional built-in wardrobes and storage.
Outside - The gardens have clearly been designed and loved by green fingers. Each area is thoughtfully planned out to make the most of each aspect.
To the front the driveway provides off road parking and access to the integral double garage with electric up and over door, power, light and internal door to the rear lobby.
The front garden enjoys a sunny aspect and has been landscaped to create private areas to enjoy throughout the day including patio, lawn, climber-clad trellis, raised beds with bamboo for gentle screening and a lovely pergola.
Well-stocked borders include a range of perennials and shrubs for all year round interest. The front of the property has a mature Wisteria for late Spring colour.
To the west side of the property are two useful timber sheds and external power points, leading through to a pleasant decking area at the side of the garden room.
The side and rear of the property has a slightly oriental feel to the design with statement trees underplanted with bulbs, all enjoying good privacy from an evergreen hedge at the rear.
Keen gardeners will enjoy the handy working area to the east side with greenhouse and lots of space for container gardening. There is also an outside tap and the oil storage tank.
