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.

Accommodation A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase an impressive 5-bedroom detached bungalow situated within generous gardens and boasting incredible panoramic views of the Cornish countryside and St Austell Bay.
Set within an approximately 0.60-acre plot, the property offers versatile accommodation that lends itself to various family dynamics or rental potential.
The front door opens into a light and bright, warm and welcoming entrance hall, which feels like a room in its own right.
Terracotta-style flooring flows throughout the entrance hall, dining area and along the hallway to the bedrooms.
Archways open into the kitchen, dining room and sitting room, giving a lovely open-plan feel, yet every room has its defined use.
The dining room tempts you in with glimpses of the stunning views awaiting, and it does not disappoint!
From the dining room, double doors open into the conservatory, which fills the room with light and is the perfect place to sit, relax and take in the panoramic vista.
From here, over the property's large garden, you can enjoy elevated views of the rolling countryside, St Austell Bay and Luxulyan Valley.
A large arch opens between the dining area and the sitting room, which, through large sliding patio doors, offers another setting to sit, relax and soak in the surroundings.
The sitting room is kept warm and cosy by a free-standing wood burner, which also offers a focal point to the room, if you can distract yourself from the views.
The kitchen is modern, stylish, and very well-equipped with ample base and wall storage cupboards.
Integral appliances include dishwasher, double oven, microwave, steamer, upright fridge, induction hob and a wine cooler.
Leading on from the kitchen is the utility room, which provides extra worktops, storage cupboards and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and upright fridge freezer.
The boiler is also housed here. A door gives access to the side of the property, which is very convenient when working in the garden or coming in wearing muddy boots and wet coats!
A hallway leads to three double bedrooms, all of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. Two of the double bedrooms enjoy the scenic views, and the third is currently used as an office.
A family bathroom comprises a bath, a hand wash basin, a WC and a heated towel rail. Located in the hallway is a useful airing cupboard, housing the hot water tank.
From here, things get rather interesting! A spacious principal bedroom enjoys stunning views through sliding patio doors and incorporates an open-plan dressing room with fitted wardrobes.
Leading from here into an ensuite shower room with handwash basin, WC and vanity unit under. A door opens from the rear of the en suite into a large, annexed bedroom with its own en suite shower room.
The flexibility of these rooms could suit many different family dynamics or even offer a potential rental income.
The property benefits from being on mains gas, water, electricity and has a private drainage system.
Outside To the front of the property, which is fully enclosed, is an abundance of parking, which is gravelled. There is a raised lawned garden with a wooden storage shed.
A path leads around the side of the property to the rear garden, which is also enclosed.
A large patio area is an ideal place for al fresco dining and socialising whilst taking in the wonderful panoramic views.
This can be accessed from the sitting room, conservatory and principal bedroom. Most of the sizeable garden is lawned with mature shrubs.
For those who enjoy keeping fit, at the bottom of the garden, is a full-sized, enclosed tennis court! A wooden shed provides storage for sports kit and garden paraphernalia.
To the side of the bungalow are two further wooden storage sheds, one of which is a log store.
