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 on a well-established and peaceful residential estate at the top of Bideford’s popular East-the-Water area, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious 2 Bedroom semi-detached bungalow available with the distinct advantage of no onward chain.
The property enjoys generous off-road parking, with a long driveway comfortably accommodating 3 vehicles and leading, in turn, to a Detached Single Garage.
To the front is an attractive, established garden, with a striking palm tree forming a central feature amongst low-maintenance stone chippings and a variety of mature plants and shrubs.
Entering the bungalow, a spacious Entrance Hall provides a warm welcome and gives access to the loft space together with a useful cloaks cupboard.
The Main Bedroom is a generously proportioned double room overlooking the attractive front garden through a UPVC double glazed window.
The Second Bedroom is positioned alongside and is also comfortably large enough to accommodate a double bed.
Opposite the bedrooms is a contemporary Wet Room comprising a shower area with mains-fed shower, a close coupled WC with dual flush and a cabinet-mounted wash hand basin.
Louvre-fronted doors open to an airing cupboard housing the gas fired combination boiler. A particular highlight of the property is the spacious Living / Dining Room.
A large picture window takes full advantage of the elevated position providing far-reaching views across the surrounding Devon countryside.
A fireplace housing a pebble-effect electric fire creates an attractive focal point, while a useful alcove provides an ideal space for a dining table.
The Kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets with matching drawers and work surfaces.
There is space for a freestanding gas cooker, plumbing and space for a washing machine and space for a fridge / freezer.
A window overlooks the driveway while a double glazed door provides direct access to the rear garden.
Outside, the rear garden is of a good yet manageable size, making it ideal for those wanting an enjoyable outdoor space without excessive upkeep.
A paved patio leads onto an area of lawn with a timber shed positioned to one side. The garden also provides a wonderful spot from which to appreciate the property’s attractive countryside outlook.
Available for sale with no onward chain, this appealing bungalow represents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a well-proportioned home in a quiet and established residential setting.
While there is scope for some cosmetic updating to suit individual tastes, the generous accommodation, ample parking, garage and delightful views provide all the ingredients for a very comfortable home.
