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
Bungalows have an enduring appeal, partly because they offer something increasingly difficult to find: A home in which almost every square foot earns its keep.
Add a generous corner plot, three bedrooms, an en-suite, driveway parking and a detached garage, and 3 Waterville Gardens becomes an especially interesting opportunity.
Positioned within the established and desirable area of Orton Waterville, this detached bungalow provides flexible single-storey accommodation that could suit a variety of buyers.
It has been well maintained, while its more traditional presentation also offers the opportunity for a new owner to gradually update the interior and make it their own.
The accommodation begins with an entrance hall connecting the principal rooms of the home.
At over 22 feet in maximum length, the lounge and dining room provide generous space for both relaxing and entertaining.
The room can comfortably accommodate separate sitting and dining areas, giving it the flexibility required for everyday life, family gatherings and evenings with friends.
The fitted kitchen provides a practical range of storage and work surfaces, together with space for the necessary appliances.
A rear porch creates a useful transition between the house and garden, somewhere for outdoor shoes, shopping or simply keeping the weather at the door.
There are three bedrooms, allowing the accommodation to adapt to different stages of life.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite wet room, a particularly valuable feature within a bungalow.
The remaining bedrooms could be used for family, visiting guests, hobbies or working from home, while a separate family bathroom serves the rest of the property.
Outside, the corner plot is one of the home’s defining advantages.
It provides a greater sense of space around the bungalow than is often found within modern developments, together with the potential to create a particularly attractive garden setting.
The enclosed rear garden includes areas of lawn and patio, providing room for outdoor dining, planting and relaxation without becoming unnecessarily demanding to maintain.
A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a detached single garage, offering secure parking, storage or workshop space.
For buyers looking specifically for single-storey living, the right combination of space, plot and location can be surprisingly difficult to replace.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a garage and a generous corner position, 3 Waterville Gardens brings those ingredients together in one practical and appealing home.
