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
A high-specification newly built detached bungalow with off-road parking and private garden, situated on the northern edge of Bury St Edmunds.
38b Philip Road is a newly built, detached single-storey home by Edmunds Homes, one of just two individual properties created on this tucked-away site.
There is a particular quality to the house, with considerable thought given to the materials, specification and finish, while the accommodation itself is light, well proportioned and particularly easy to live in.
The kitchen/dining room is a lovely everyday space, fitted with understated Shaker-style cabinetry and quartz worktop and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a double oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
Glazed double doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, while a separate sitting room has its own set of bi-fold doors, giving both principal living spaces a strong connection with outside.
There are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying fitted wardrobes and its own high-quality en-suite shower room.
The third bedroom would also make an excellent study for those working from home, while the family bathroom continues the effective, contemporary finish found throughout the house.
Oak internal doors add warmth and character against the neutral decoration, while underfloor heating and an air-source heat pump provide an efficient modern heating system.
Outside The property is approached from Philip Road, down a long, shared driveway, with allocated parking for two vehicles, along with a further space in front of the property.
The garden is enclosed and private, with a westerly orientation. There are good-sized paved terraces immediately adjoining the house and the remaining garden being turfed.
Outside power and tap connected.
