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
The vendors have really turned this bungalow around creating a calm, restful space, with modern finishes and lots of nice touches.
From the lovely open-plan living with super kitchen and large island, to the bi-fold doors and lantern ceiling in the recent extension.
Subtle decor and finishes in the bedrooms includes must have storage in the double with fitted wardrobes.
A lovely bathroom, with a great spa-like vibe furnished with a contemporary free standing bath and separate double walk in shower.
Externally the property has been smartened up too, with a recent new render applied.
Externally, there is still a little work to be done, but still the property has off road parking for two vehicles and a useful garage in a block just a few meters away from the front door.
A lot of care and attention has been given to make this a fresh, modern yet comfortable home with underfloor heating in places, a super media unit for built in storage and display solutions and versatile space to use as needed for extra dining, seating, a play area for little ones or to work from home.
In a great road, it's easily accessible for travel by car to the main routes nearby, or by bus to the local town centres or further afield.
It's an easy walk to the local shops, amenities and schools - both primary and secondary. Most of what you need is nearby so it's an ideal location.
Tarpots Corner with supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants is just a few minutes walk away. You'll also find doctors and dentists similarly near, as are parks and leisure areas.
The property is approximately 59sqm following recent extension and is offered for sale on a Freehold basis with no onward chain.
It is of standard likely (solid) brick construction from approximately early/mid 1900s with a tile roof and has main services (gas, electricity, water) in place.
Ultrafast broadband can be obtained via OpenReach or Virgin Media and mobile coverage is best supported by EE and Vodafone with lesser coverage from O2 and 3.
Additional Information: Council Tax: Band B - £1795 before eligble exemptions or discounts (26/27 rates) Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Rating: Band D - undertaken before new boiler, underfloor heating, bi-fold doors and extension completed, so potentially an improved grade.
