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 is a wonderful opportunity to secure a chain-free detached bungalow set in a prime location, offering excellent potential to extend (STPP).
Having been a much-loved home for over 35 years, it is now ready for a new family to make it their own.
Extending to approximately 1,234 sq ft, the property already provides generous accommodation, comprising three double bedrooms, a shower room, two reception rooms, a fully fitted kitchen, garage, and an impressive 119’ southerly-facing garden and outhouse.
The location is superb, being just 0.5 miles from Royal Parade and within easy reach of several highly regarded local schools.
Approach to the property is via the favoured Holbrook Lane, leading into Barnard Close, where the home occupies a large corner plot.
There is an expansive front garden, a detached garage, and off-street parking for several vehicles. Entrance is through an enclosed porch into a well-maintained interior.
The main reception room measures approximately 190 sq ft and features a bay window overlooking the front garden, along with a brick fireplace creating a charming focal point.
A separate dining room leads from here and connects through to the kitchen; being double aspect, it enjoys excellent natural light and offers ample space for a dining suite.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, includes a built-in pantry, and benefits from a separate utility area. All three bedrooms are doubles.
The principal bedroom enjoys both a side window and a large bay window to the front, along with extensive fitted wardrobes and drawer storage.
Bedroom two is also double aspect and features a full wall of built-in wardrobes.
The third bedroom is currently arranged as a sun room, with large sliding doors opening directly onto the garden, providing a bright and versatile space.
The shower room offers a wide cubicle, mirrored wall cabinet, and a window providing natural light and ventilation.
There is significant scope for extension, subject to the usual planning consents, including the potential to utilise the substantial loft space.
A neighbouring property within the road has incorporated a dormer loft extension, highlighting this possibility.
This really offers the ultimate lifestyle being located on highly favoured off Holbrook Lane, just a half mile stroll to picturesque and historic Royal Parade with its range of boutique shops, restaurants, local pub and salons.
Furthermore Farringtons School is a half mile as well, and other local schools include St Nicholas Church of England Primary, Mead Road Infants, Bromley High, Eltham College and Colfe’s School.
Chislehurst is the local station and leisure is well provided for with Chislehurst Golf Club nearby and beautiful Scadbury Estate Country Park is virtually on the doorstep accessed via an entrance on Holbrook Lane for walks and runs.
Chislehurst common and ponds add to the picturesque local environment.
