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
Birdwood, 39 Race Hill, is situated in a very convenient location both close to the town and the edge of town supermarkets and further amenities. It has benefited from a recent refurbishment.
Our vendor has worked hard to bring the 1950’s built bungalow up to date without loosening its charm. New flooring has been laid and oak veneered interior doors have been installed.
The bathroom is now a modern tiled shower room with a spacious walk in shower having a large glass screen, a white WC and hand basin. Some of the lights have been changed to down lighters.
The mains gas central heating boiler located in the kitchen was replaced about four years ago.
All the internal walls and ceilings are painted white forming a blank canvas for any buyers to add their own mark.
On entering via the front, a flight of steps ascends from the pavement to a well stocked garden.
Going inside via a useful small porch into the hallway which has doors to all rooms including an airing cupboard which houses the immersion tank.
The living room enjoys the extra seasonal heat from a main gas fire set into the chimney breast. A separate dining room could become a double sized third bedroom if required.
The kitchen enjoys an array of light wood effect cupboards situated both above and below a roll top working surface.
The electric cooker is included within the sale and there is space for an under counter fridge and plumbing for a washing machine, both items could be included if required.
The two double bedrooms are served by the tiled shower room/WC. Outside, the rear garden is slightly sloping and laid to lawn with some mature planting. There is a useful store.
Parking is s provided by a single garage and the recently resurfaced drive could accommodate about three cars. It is accessed via a shared private road.
This bungalow would suit a family needing to be close to the schools and shops or more senior buyers who would enjoy single level internal accommodation.
The property is situated close to the ancient town centre of Launceston. Launceston has a range of educational, recreational, commercial and leisure facilities, as well as a Norman Castle.
Nearer to the property is the Tesco Superstore, Retail Park, Launceston College, Coronation Park and the Leisure Centre.
The town lies adjacent to the A30 dual carriageway giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.
From Launceston Town Centre proceed into Southgate Street and through the Southgate Arch.
Follow the road around to the left into Exeter Street passing the Newmarket Inn on the right hand side and at the forthcoming junction turn right into Tavistock Road and carry on along this road until reaching the two mini-roundabouts at Pages Cross.
Turn sharp right following the sign to the town centre up Race Hill, where Birdwood, 39 Race Hill will be identified a short distance along on the right hand side marked with a Webbers For Sale Board.
For parking, turn right into an un-adopted road beside Race Hill Garage and bear right. Follow the road down until reaching a red garage door and park in front.
