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
General Description Smiths Property Experts are delighted to offer to the market this lovely, ‘turnkey’ bungalow, which has undergone a full refurbishment over recent years and offers a superb, high-quality finish throughout.
With Zonal underfloor heating, replaced windows and fascias, a wonderful kitchen/diner with fitted units, two double bedrooms, and landscaped gardens with a south-westerly aspect.
This bungalow is perfect for a new owner looking for an easy-maintenance, ready-to-move-into home.
The Property The bungalow is entered via a front porch, which leads into the welcoming hallway, which has tiled flooring with underfloor heating that continues throughout the property.
The beautifully designed kitchen/diner has clearly defined areas, with a stylish range of base and wall units providing ample storage, an induction hob with extractor and an electric oven.
There is also a separate utility room with a back door to the side.
The sitting room is a naturally bright room, with windows to the front and patio doors to the rear, and a Morso Squirrel log burning stove to provide additional ambience.
There are two good-sized double bedrooms, a modern, refitted bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC and hand wash basin, and a further separate WC.
The hallway has patio doors which open onto an internal courtyard, perfect for private alfresco dining.
The Outside Outside to the front, there is a secure block-paved driveway, providing ample parking, side access to the rear and access to the garage with a remote electronic roller door.
The rear garden has a south-westerly orientation, which makes the most of the afternoon and evening sun, a large patio terrace, a shaped lawn with well-established flower borders and fruit trees, and a timber summer house.
The Location This exceptional bungalow is located on Chester Close, a quiet cul-de-sac within easy walking distance of Loughborough town centre.
Loughborough is known for its renowned university, and the town centre offers an array of shops and amenities, including numerous independent local businesses such as coffee shops and eateries.
