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
GUIDE PRICE £450,000 - £475,000 .
Situated in the highly sought-after village of Ashingdon, just a short stroll from local shops and everyday amenities, this rarely available detached bungalow occupies an impressive double plot measuring approximately 60ft x 180ft and backing directly onto woodland.
Constructed in 1967, the property currently offers well-proportioned single-storey accommodation comprising three bedrooms, a generous reception room, kitchen, bathroom and associated outbuildings.
While perfectly liveable as it stands, the true appeal lies in the remarkable scope and flexibility the plot provides.
The substantial frontage and depth of the site present significant redevelopment potential (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Several neighbouring plots of similar proportions along the road have been successfully redeveloped to accommodate two dwellings, making this an outstanding opportunity for developers and investors alike.
Alternatively, the existing bungalow could be remodelled and extended to create a striking pavilion-style residence, taking full advantage of the expansive and secluded rear garden.
The garden itself is a particular highlight, a private, mature space that gently leads into woodland beyond, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting rarely found so close to village amenities.
Properties of this nature and plot size are seldom available.
Whether you are seeking a prime development opportunity or a chance to create a truly special home in a peaceful woodland setting, this is a site that demands attention.
