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
Situated in the heart of the popular West Dorset village of Charmouth, a level walk to the local shops and beach, this substantial detached bungalow occupies a generous plot set back from The Street.
Requiring some updating Reades has spacious accommodation, a large garden, garage, ample parking and the potential to convert the loft to provide additional accommodation if desired (subject to the necessary consents) offering an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to create a wonderful individual home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
With accommodation extending to approximately 1,553 sq. ft Reades was built in the mid 1960’s and is finished in attractive local Portland stone.
The entrance hall with an airing cupboard provides access to the principal accommodation and a separate WC/cloakroom.

A separate dining room offers an ideal setting for family meals and entertaining with a convenient serving hatch to the kitchen.

An inner hall with a large storage cupboard leads to two generous double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens.
A shower room and a separate WC and cloakroom complete the accommodation.
A particular feature of the property is the sizeable loft space which, subject to planning permission and building regulations, may offer potential for conversion to create additional bedrooms and bathrooms, making full use of the property's impressive footprint.
Outside The gardens are a real highlight of the property.
To the front, the gravelled garden and driveway provide plentiful parking with double gates giving access to the good-sized detached garage with a useful workshop/store to the rear.
A pathway with shrub borders extends along the front and side of the bungalow to the rear garden.
