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
Nestled in the heart of Shotover Country Park, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to secure a delightful home in one of Oxford most prestigious residential locations.
Situated on a generous quarter-acre plot (approximate), the property boasts mature gardens, a detached garage, and significant potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning permission).
Located on The Ridings, a peaceful and leafy no-through road, the home enjoys a tranquil setting with immediate access to the open woodlands and walking trails of Shotover Country Park — perfect for nature lovers and families alike.
Despite its semi-rural feel, the location offers easy access to central Headington, Oxford city, hospitals, and key transport links including the A40 and M40.
Internally, the bungalow features a bright dual-aspect living room, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, and a family bathroom.
While well-maintained, the property presents huge scope for modernisation and extension, making it ideal for those looking to create a bespoke family home in a prestigious setting.
Outside, the expansive gardens wrap around the home, offering privacy, space for entertaining, and excellent potential for further development.
A detached garage and ample driveway parking further enhance the appeal.
