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 sought after detached bungalow is ideally located just a short stroll from Redbourn Common and offers excellent potential to extend and improve (subject to the necessary consents).
The property is approached via a long driveway with a bridge over the River Red (a tributary of the River Ver) and is well set back from the road on a private plot.
The accommodation currently includes a large L shaped living room, which opens into a large conservatory at the rear. The living room also opens into a dining area with a bedroom/study just off.
The kitchen/breakfast room is also located at the rear and overlooks the garden. There are two double bedrooms off the hallway served by a good size bathroom.
A guest cloakroom completes the accommodation. To the front of the property there is ample off-street parking and a double garage.
The rear garden is wonderfully private and mainly laid to lawn with a variety of flower beds and mature trees and shrubs.
A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this delightful private location. Nb.
Pursuant to the 1979 Estate Agency act we are duty bound to advise you that this property is owned by an employee of Ashtons Estate Agents.
Chequer Lane is situated just off Redbourn Common and within close proximity to local amenities.
The larger towns of both St Albans and Harpenden are just a short drive away and both offer wider amenities and excellent rail links into London St Pancras and the City.
The M1 motorway and London Luton Airport are also within easy reach. There is a well regarded primary school in the village and excellent secondary schools in both Harpenden and St Albans.
