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 rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional extended bungalow, occupying a quiet cul-de-sac position within the ever-popular Newton Hall area.
The property has been thoughtfully renovated and extended to an exacting standard, creating a stylish and spacious home designed for modern living.
The well-planned accommodation briefly comprises an entrance porch, inner hallway with two light tunnels, useful storage cupboards and a cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC and wash hand basin.
The lounge features a wood-burning stove, while the separate dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining.
A particular highlight is the impressive refitted kitchen/breakfast room, appointed with a contemporary range of wall and floor units, a substantial island with induction hob, separate two-ring gas hob with extractor over, two ovens, integrated microwave, one-and-a-half bowl sink and integrated dishwasher.
There is ample space for dining, a further wood-burning stove, two large Velux windows and bi-folding doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a bright and sociable living space.
Additional practical features include a walk-in pantry and a separate utility cupboard with plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a sink and fitted base units.
There are three bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite facilities.
The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room with low-level WC, wash hand basin, multi-jet wall-mounted shower, tiled walls and tiled flooring.
The second bedroom enjoys a similar en-suite with a wall-mounted power shower, while the third bedroom benefits from a wet room with low-level WC, wash hand basin and wall-mounted power shower.
Externally, the property occupies a generous corner plot with low-maintenance gardens to the side and rear, including patio seating areas, artificial lawn and raised flower beds.
A gated side access area provides excellent additional parking, ideal for a caravan or motorhome.
Overall, this outstanding bungalow offers a superb combination of quality, space and practicality, and an internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that it has to offer.
