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
Step inside this beautifully renovated semi detached bungalow, situated in the of the ever-popular Cefn Glas area of Bridgend, where modern style meets flexible living on one spacious level.
The current owners have thoughtfully updated the property throughout, creating a home that’s ready to move straight into, with a contemporary fitted kitchen and a sleek, modern bathroom that are sure to impress.
The real showstopper here is the rear extension, which opens up the space to offer two generous double bedrooms, and the clever layout means you can easily adapt the second reception room into a third bedroom if you need extra sleeping space or prefer a dedicated living/dining space.
The versatile accommodation is perfect for first time buyers eager to settle into a welcoming community, or for those looking to downsize without compromising on comfort or space.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked either, with off road driveway parking and a detached single garage providing plenty of storage and convenience.
As you explore the property, you’ll notice the attention to detail in every finish, from the fresh décor to the quality flooring, making it a home that feels both stylish and inviting.
The bungalow also offers exciting potential for the future, with scope to create additional first floor accommodation, as many neighbouring properties have already done (subject to planning approval), so you can truly make the space your own as your needs evolve.
Location-wise, you’re just a short stroll from handy local shops, every-day amenities, and highly regarded schools catering from nursery right through to comprehensive age, making life that little bit easier for busy families or those who are looking to have everything within reach.
