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 charming detached two-bedroom bungalow set on a generous plot in the heart of Silverdale.
The property includes a detached garage and ample off-road parking, and already benefits from granted planning permission for an extension-offering exciting scope to expand and tailor the home to your needs.
While some updating and upgrading would enhance its full potential, this is a superb opportunity to create a stylish and comfortable home in a highly desirable village location.
Step into Sunny Hurst via a welcoming entrance vestibule, offering practical space for coats and footwear, before continuing through to a central hallway that provides access to all principal rooms.
Positioned at the front of the property, overlooking the garden, are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted furniture.
To the rear, the home opens into a well-appointed kitchen, with a range of wall, base and display units complemented by work surfaces and a breakfast bar.
Additional features include a one-and-a-half bowl composite sink with drainer set beneath a window overlooking the rear garden, a four-ring gas hob with extractor above, and an eye-level Bosch electric oven.
A sliding door connects back to the hallway, while a further door leads to the side porch with access to the outside.
Also enjoying views over the rear garden is the spacious living room, filled with natural light from multiple windows.
This inviting space features built-in shelving and a focal gas fire set on a stone hearth with a wooden mantel.
Completing the internal accommodation are a separate WC and a shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower with electric unit, tiling, a ladder-style towel radiator, and a built-in vanity hand wash basin with storage and worktop.
Externally, the front of the property is attractively laid to lawn with flowers beds and a driveway providing ample off-road parking, leading to a detached garage with up-and-over door, windows and a pedestrian access door.
Pathways run along both sides of the property to the rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and features a pond, greenhouse, garden shed, and pleasant views towards the church.
