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.

NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Why You'll Like It - This light and spacious three bedroom detached bungalow is located in a generous corner plot in a popular village just a short drive or cycle from Truro and with easy access to the A30.
The gardens wrap around three sides of the property, creating a wonderfully private and green setting, while ample driveway parking and a single garage provide practicality.
Stepping inside, an entrance porch opens directly into the kitchen, which is fitted with a comprehensive range of base, wall and tower units, incorporating a double oven and ceramic hob.
There is space and plumbing for a dishwasher, room for a washing machine and space for a low-level fridge.
A wide entrance hallway creates a sense of space and leads through to the impressive L-shaped living and dining room.
This superb dual-aspect room is flooded with natural light and offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining, with attractive garden views at each end.
At the opposite end of the bungalow, three generously proportioned bedrooms provide excellent flexibility.
Two are large doubles, while the third is a comfortable and well-sized single, ideal as a guest room, home office or hobby space.
The bathroom is surprisingly spacious and features both a bath and a separate shower enclosure with a Mira electric shower.
Practical storage is well catered for, with a useful hallway cupboard and an airing cupboard located within the bathroom.
Outside, the gardens have clearly been lovingly maintained and are beautifully planted with a wide variety of shrubs and flowers, creating year-round interest.
A sunny patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the level lawn offers plenty of space for family life, gardening or simply enjoying the surroundings.
The property would benefit from some updating but clearly offers great potential (including potential to extend subject to any necessary consent).
With its excellent village location, generous plot, versatile accommodation and abundance of natural light, this charming bungalow offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy comfortable and convenient living close to Truro.
