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
DESCRIPTION A splendid three bedroom detached bungalow with large gardens backing onto open countryside, garage, ample parking and offered with no onward chain.
The property benefits from glorious views and is close to wonderful countryside walks. Upon entering the property is a hall with space for shoes and coats.
The sitting/dining room is a wonderful space benefitting from a triple aspect view over countryside and gardens and having a feature fireplace as the focal point.
The kitchen/dining room has an array of fitted units, a freestanding cooker (included), space for white goods, ample space for a table to seat six people and a door opening out to the front of the property.
An inner hall provides storage, an airing cupboard and access to the three bedrooms and bathroom which comprises a bath with shower above, toilet and wash hand basin.
Two of the bedrooms are good sized doubles with one having a view to the front of the property and the other having views over the gardens to the rear.
The third bedroom is a good sized single or could equally be used as a home office, if desired.
OUTSIDE To the front of the property is a driveway which can accommodate five to six vehicles leading to a larger than average single garage with light, power and a toilet.
The gardens wrap around the property and are mainly laid to lawn.
Please Note: The vendors are including a small portion of the neighbouring field (approx 0.33 of an acre) at the rear to increase the current plot size - new boundary posts are in place.
This additional land is classed as agricultural and would therefore require planning permission to be used as a garden.
