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
This superb two double bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupies a private and attractive plot at the head of a sought after Cul-de-Sac position on the ever popular Wigston Meadows estate.
Offered with no upward chain, the bungalow benefits from a full width rear extension which accommodates additions to both the reception room, resulting in a superb lounge diner, and the adjacent kitchen.
The home is well placed for a plethora of local amenities with large supermarkets, numerous smaller shops, services and eateries as well as leisure and medical centres all within a short drive or bus ride away.
The bungalow is very well presented throughout and has obviously been very well maintained meaning it can be moved into and enjoyed immediately.
Anyone looking for one storey living or to downsize should be giving the bungalow serious consideration.
Access to the home is via a front door which opens, firstly into small porch area and then into an entrance hall with doors on either side leading into all rooms.
The bungalow also benefits from many people's preferred layout with the bedrooms toward the front and the kitchen and reception rooms overlooking the garden to the rear.
The lounge diner is a wonderfully spacious room able to be configured in a number of ways depending on furniture type and style.
The room will comfortably take a range of sofas, a large dining table and chairs as well as freestanding storage and display furniture.
Natural light comes from a set of French patio doors that open to the garden. The main focal point is delightful feature fireplace with a timber mantelpiece and flame effect electric fire.
The kitchen is particularly impressive following the extension and includes a range of base and wall-mounted storage and display units with roll-edge work surfaces and a double 'Butler' style sink.
Integrated appliances include an induction hob with extractor over, and a built-in double electric oven. In addition, there is plenty of space for a large freestanding American style fridge/freezer.
There is then under counter space for a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer that can all be hidden by unit doors. A back door provides alternate access to the garden.
The principal bedroom is the largest of the two double bedrooms and has a bow window to the front a feature shared with the second bedroom on the other side of the hallway.
Both bedrooms have ample space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers.
The bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary refitted shower room which comprises a three-piece white suite including a large corner shower cubicle, low flush WC and was hand basing that is set onto a vanity/storage unit.
To the front of the home a shingle based front garden enclosed by a timber fence is ideal for standing potted plants to further enhance the bungalow's already pleasing kerb appeal.
The bungalow also benefits from a garage which is the middle one of a block of three all belonging to immediate neighbours with further parking available in front of the garage itself.
The Cul-de-Sac itself also offers plenty of parking space for visitors. At the rear is a recently landscaped and low maintenance garden that is private and not overlooked at all.
The garden has an island of artificial lawn surrounded on all sides by paved patio area and connecting paths. The garden also benefits from a summer house and timber-built storage shed.
This really is a delightful bungalow in a quiet, intimate Cul-de-Sac and internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the space and quality of finish.
