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
A two bedroom detached bungalow, pleasantly situated within a desirable mature development in the popular village of Zeals.
Offering comfortable single storey living, generous gardens and potential for further enhancement, this appealing home is ideally suited to those seeking a peaceful retirement, downsizing opportunity or younger people moving up the property ladder.
The property is approached via an enclosed entrance porch, opening into a bright and welcoming sitting room enjoying an outlook to both the front and side aspects.
This inviting living space features a fireplace as its focal point, with the option to accommodate an open fire if desired.
To the right of the sitting room is the second bedroom, a versatile space equally suited for use as a dining room, study or guest accommodation.
The remaining rooms are accessed from an inner hallway, which benefits from a large airing cupboard and access to a well insulated loft space.
The kitchen, whilst slightly dated, remains perfectly functional and offers a good range of storage units, ample worktop space and room for a small breakfast table.
A door provides direct access to the rear garden, where a covered canopy creates an ideal spot for enjoying a morning coffee.
The shower room has been tastefully refitted in recent years and now incorporates a stylish vanity and WC unit with storage.
The generous walk-in shower also includes enhanced features, making it particularly suitable for those with reduced mobility.
The principal bedroom is a spacious double room overlooking the rear garden, enjoying a pleasant and private outlook.
It also benefits from a substantial fitted double wardrobe with hanging space, drawers and shelving.
Outside, the bungalow occupies a generous and well balanced plot, ideal for keen gardeners and offering potential for extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a driveway to one side leading to a single garage.
A gated side access leads to the surprisingly spacious rear garden, where a paved patio opens onto an area of lawn bordered by mature shrubs and established planting.
Towards the rear, the garden extends further to one side, interspersed with trees that provide a shaded seating area.
In summary, this well presented detached bungalow offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a comfortable village home with scope for personalisation.
Recent improvements include a stylishly refitted shower room, replacement water tank, updated consumer unit and a new garage roof.
