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
** For Sale By Online Auction** Pre Auction Offers Considered** A fantastic opportunity to acquire this two double bedroom detached home, occupying a generous plot within easy reach of local amenities.
Requiring modernisation throughout, this property offers enormous potential to create a wonderful family home, with spacious accommodation, versatile outside space, and delightful views towards the iconic Westbury White Horse.
You are welcomed into the property via a spacious entrance porch, providing the perfect space for storing coats and shoes before leading into the main entrance hall.
From here, there is access to the reception rooms and stairs rising to the first floor. The lounge is a generous and inviting room, offering ample space for all necessary furnishings.
A charming wood-burning stove creates an attractive focal point, while a window overlooking the garden allows plenty of natural light to fill the room.
There is also the added benefit of a large understairs storage cupboard.
The separate dining room provides another excellent reception space, ideal for family meals and entertaining guests, and leads through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units incorporating a sink inset into the worktop, an integrated oven, and space for further appliances.
A useful external door provides convenient access to the front of the property. On the first floor, the landing provides access to two generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Both bedrooms offer excellent proportions, while the bathroom comprises a bath with an overhead shower, wash hand basin, and WC.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with a versatile enclosed garden/driveway area, accessed via a gated entrance to provide a private and secure outdoor space.
Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden also features mature trees, established shrubs, and a useful garden shed.
With imagination and investment, this outdoor space could be transformed into a truly beautiful garden while still offering the potential for off-road parking if desired.
The property also enjoys lovely views towards the famous Westbury White Horse, adding to its appeal.
Although the property is in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout, it represents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
With its detached position, generous plot, excellent location, and abundance of potential, this could become a superb family home.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size, setting, and outstanding potential this property has to offer.
