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.

Tavistock itself is a thriving market town in West Devon, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century.
Well-known for its wonderful sense of community and offering a very high standard of living, today the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

Description This well-rounded and adaptable detached bungalow is offered to the market for the first time in several decades, with no onward chain.
The accommodation is bright and well-proportioned, with a number of dual-aspect rooms, and includes an extended principal bedroom which affords particularly generous space.
Thorough modernisation is now required, whilst there is considerable scope for extension - either outwards or upwards - remodelling or reconfiguration, subject to any necessary consents or approvals.
The property enjoys an attractive outlook to the front, with south-westerly views towards surrounding countryside.
Externally, the bungalow is complemented by low-maintenance gardens to both the front and rear, together with a driveway and a detached garage/workshop.
Overall, this is a very appealing opportunity to acquire a comfortable home in a highly regarded location, with excellent potential to enhance and add value.
Accommodation The bungalow is accessed at the front beneath a covered entrance porch into a central reception hallway, from where the accommodation is comprised as follows: A bright, dual-aspect sitting room with a large picture window enjoying views towards surrounding countryside; a separate dining room overlooking the rear garden; the adjacent kitchen, which is fitted with a good range of units beneath roll-edge work surfaces incorporating a 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink and drainer, integrated AEG dishwasher, integrated electric oven and four-ring hob, with space for a fridge and electric cooker; the extended principal bedroom, which is a very good-sized, dual-aspect room with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite washroom; a second double bedroom enjoying south-westerly views to the front; a third bedroom with built-in wardrobe and drawer unit, and; the family bathroom, fitted with a traditional three-piece suite.
Outside To the front of the property is a tarmac driveway leading to the detached garage and workshop/utility, which has a remote-controlled up-and-over door, plus power and lighting.
Both the front and rear gardens are arranged in a low-maintenance fashion with paved and gravelled terraces, formerly utilised for fruit and vegetables, planted with a comprehensive range of shrubbery and flowering plants, including azaleas and camellias.
In one corner is a 10'x8' greenhouse, which has now become overgrown. The garden offers a blank canvas for an incoming owner to mould to their tastes and requirements.
