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 beautifully renovated two-bedroom true bungalow, occupying an enviable position on one of Roby Mill's most sought-after residential closes, with open countryside immediately surrounding the property.
There are certain properties that immediately stand apart from the rest, and this is one of them.
Having undergone comprehensive renovations and improvements, this exceptional true bungalow has been transformed into a stylish, contemporary home which combines the ease of single-storey living with a level of finish rarely found in properties of this type.
An added bonus is this property is offered chain free. Approaching the property, the extent of the work is immediately apparent.
A private front driveway provides parking for two cars, while the newly finished frontage and attractive brick detailing create an impressive first impression.
The enclosed front porch adds a particularly smart touch, providing a defined entrance before leading into the generous front-facing lounge.
The accommodation becomes particularly impressive towards the rear, where the property has been thoughtfully extended to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space.
This is undoubtedly the heart of the home.
A generous, light-filled room centred around a striking contemporary kitchen with breakfast bar style island and, if desired, a further sitting or relaxation area.
Two roof skylights draw natural light deep into the room, while doors open directly onto the rear decking, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden.
Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped with ease of maintenance and entertaining in mind.
The raised decking provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings before stepping down onto the lawn beyond.
With fields both to the front and rear, the setting is unusually open for a residential property and gives the home a genuine sense of space and privacy.
The two bedrooms are well proportioned, with the accommodation completed by a beautifully appointed modern bathroom.
Throughout the property, considerable attention has been paid to the detail, with the works extending far beyond a cosmetic refurbishment.
The improvements include a completely renewed heating system with new radiators, a full rewire, new external doors, a new porch entrance, replacement skirting boards and architraves, new internal doors, a brand-new kitchen with island, a contemporary bathroom suite, together with extensive external landscaping and new fencing.
In short, very little has been left untouched.
St Gabriel's Close itself is a peaceful enclave of bungalows, with the development having historically been known as St Gabriel's Bungalows and having links to the nearby Don Orione Centre and the Sons of Divine Providence.
Today, the location offers the rare combination of a quiet, semi-rural setting whilst remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities.
The nearby Upholland Roby Mill C of E Primary School sits on School Lane, whilst the much-loved Roby Mill Farm Shop is close at hand.
For those who enjoy good food and a proper country pub, The Fox at Roby Mill, a historic pub dating back to the early 1800s, is also nearby and makes excellent use of locally sourced produce.
For buyers looking for a home where the major works, modernisation and attention to detail have already been taken care of, this property represents a genuinely turnkey opportunity.
A superbly finished bungalow, an exceptional setting and a level of renovation that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.
