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
SEMI-DETACHED BUNGALOW | CORNER PLOT | OFF-ROAD PARKING | SOUTH-FACING GARDEN | QUIET CUL-DE-SAC Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in Meakins Close, this well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits on a generous corner plot and offers bright, practical accommodation along with a particularly good-sized south-facing garden.
The property is ready to move into and benefits from off-road parking to the rear.
There is also clear scope to create a driveway at the front, in addition to the potential to convert the loft, subject to the usual consents.
The entrance hall is light and welcoming, with access to the part-boarded loft space. Wood-style flooring runs throughout, giving the home a consistent and well-kept finish.
The main bedroom is a comfortable double overlooking the front, while the good-sized second bedroom looks out across the rear garden.
The bathroom is modern and neatly finished, fitted with waterproof wall panelling, a shower over the bath and a vanity unit for storage.
The kitchen is a generous size with plenty of worktop space and room for appliances, enjoying views over the garden.
Double doors lead through to the extended conservatory with its vaulted ceiling, creating a bright dining or sitting area that works well for everyday use.
The lounge is spacious and also looks out over the garden, with double doors opening directly onto the patio. Outside is where this property really stands out.
The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged with a patio and pergola, established planting, a pathway and a shed.
To the rear there is off-road parking, and the scope to add a driveway at the front if required. The location is convenient as well as quiet.
A bus route nearby provides access to Leigh Station and the trendy bars, shops and restaurants of Leigh Broadway.
Morrisons, Tesco Extra and the retail park are all within easy reach, whilst Southend Airport is just a short drive away.
Heycroft Primary School is around an eight-minute walk, and Scotts Park is just moments from the property.
A well-balanced bungalow in a good position, offering superb outside space and further potential. EPC Rating: D Parking - Off street
