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 recently renovated and beautifully presented modern three to four bedroom detached bungalow designed with sustainability in mind, located in the highly sought-after area of Ashford and enjoying stunning, far-reaching estuary views.
Thoughtfully adapted for the vendor’s own use, the property has been designed to be completely disability-friendly, while still offering the flexibility to be easily returned to a more traditional layout if desired.
Upon entering the bungalow, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway that leads directly into the impressive dual-aspect lounge/dining room.
This inviting living space is flooded with natural light through large windows and benefits from uninterrupted estuary views to the front elevation, creating a bright and relaxing atmosphere.
Leading seamlessly from the lounge/dining room is the modern fitted kitchen, which features white gloss wall and base units and ample space for appliances.
Returning to the hallway, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms positioned to the front of the property, one of which benefits from built-in wardrobes.
To the side elevation of the bungalow, set back slightly for added privacy, is the dual-aspect master bedroom with its own en suite.
This room has been configured to be disability-friendly, including ramped access, although it can be easily adapted back to standard use if required.
It also benefits from built in wardrobes and an air conditioning unit. The modern white en suite bathroom complements the space, and the bedroom further benefits from built-in wardrobes.
A contemporary four-piece family bathroom, finished in white and including a freestanding shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.
The original garage has been converted to create an additional bedroom with its own en suite facilities.
This versatile space is ideal for a dependent relative, teenage children, or as a potential income stream, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Above this room with its own separate access is the study - a perfect work from home space.
Externally, the property offers a south-facing front garden, laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs.
Two newly laid raised patio areas to the front provide the perfect spots to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings and exceptional views, whether with a morning coffee or in the evening.
To the rear, there is an enclosed garden that is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by established planting, offering a good degree of privacy.
To the front of the property, gated driveway parking is available for several vehicles.
Overall, this is a truly desirable home set within a highly regarded location, finished to an excellent standard throughout and presented in move-in-ready condition, making it an outstanding opportunity for its next owners.
