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
This rarely available and deceptively spacious three bedroom detached bungalow occupies an attractive cul-de-sac position and offers bright, well proportioned accommodation throughout.
The property is approached via a hard standing driveway leading to a garage. Upon entering, you are welcomed by an entrance hall with a useful cloakroom.
An inner door opens into the principal reception space, an impressive L-shaped lounge/diner, providing excellent flexibility for furniture arrangement.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a table and chairs, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining, while the dual aspect design floods the room with natural light.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of floor and wall-mounted units complemented by work surfaces over, with ample space for a variety of freestanding appliances.
An inner hallway leads to three well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear, while the remaining two bedrooms are located at the front and rear respectively.
All are served by a family bathroom. Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create an enjoyable outdoor space.
A paved patio provides the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining, while the remainder is laid to lawn and bordered by a variety of established shrubs and bushes.
The garden is enclosed by a combination of mature hedging and timber fencing, with gated side access.
The village of Maulden is well positioned to cater for the commuter with the M1/A1 motorways both within a 20-minute drive, alternatively there are regular train links into London St Pancras from either Flitwick or Harlington platforms, taking a matter of 35/40 minutes respectively.
Furthermore, the Thameslink line runs north to south through London and links to new cross rail/east to west London rail terminal at Farringdon.
The area is renowned for its autonomous schooling for all age groups, with Maulden village infant/primary school being within walking distance and, 'Russell Lower', ‘Firs Lower’, 'Alameda' and 'Redborne' just a short distance away.
There is also a local pick-up point for the Bedford Harpur trust private schools for both boys and girls.
There is a local convenience store and two well-established pubs within walking distance, further and more substantial amenities can be found in Ampthill offering a selection of small individually owned shops, hairdressers, and a Waitrose Store.
The house has easy walking access to Maulden Woods which provides up to 11 miles of unspoilt woodland walks.
