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
Anbro, 26 Church Road, California Nestled within the sought-after semi-rural village of California, on the outskirts of Falkirk, Anbro is a spacious and versatile five-bedroom detached family home offering flexible accommodation, generous living space, and the added benefit of a self-contained studio apartment.
Originally built as a self-build bungalow, the current owners have thoughtfully extended the property by adding a first floor, creating two additional double bedrooms, a modern family bathroom, and excellent eaves storage.
This transformation has created a substantial home perfectly suited to growing families or those looking for adaptable living space.
The ground floor centres around a bright and spacious lounge which flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with an attractive light grey shaker-style design, offering ample storage and workspace.
There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms on this level, with the third bedroom currently utilised as a home office, providing excellent flexibility.
The fully tiled family bathroom with feature free standing bath completes the ground floor accommodation.
Externally, the property enjoys a private, south-facing rear garden, perfect for relaxing, outdoor dining, and making the most of sunny days.
A standout feature of this home is the converted attached garage, now providing a fully self-contained studio apartment.
Comprising a kitchen area, living/sleeping space, and shower room, it offers fantastic potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, a home business, or rental income.
To the side of the property is a driveway providing off-street parking, complete with an electric vehicle charging point.
California is a popular semi-rural village offering the perfect balance of peaceful countryside living while remaining within easy reach of local amenities.
Tesco Superstore at Redding is just a short drive away for everyday shopping, while excellent transport links include nearby train stations at Polmont & Falkirk High making commuting to Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond straightforward.
The surrounding area also offers beautiful woodland walks, cycling routes and open countryside, making it an ideal location for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
For schooling, California Primary School & Braes High School are both close by.
