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
For some buyers, this will be the opportunity to simplify life without compromising on quality.
For others, it could provide the ideal home for a parent or relative who wants to retain their independence while living closer to family.
Set within the popular village of Cropston, this newly built detached bungalow also makes an excellent lock-up-and-leave: a high-quality, low-maintenance home to return to, with two village pubs close by and Bradgate Park almost on the doorstep.
Available with no upward chain, the property combines well planned accommodation with excellent finishes, parking and an enclosed paved garden.
The entrance hall immediately shows the quality, with oak-finished internal doors leading into the principal rooms and glimpses of the kitchen through a half glazed door.
The dining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with shaker-style cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and an inset sink.
Its comprehensive range of integrated appliances includes a fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob and extractor, together with a washer dryer.
There is space for a small breakfast table, while a side door provides convenient access to the driveway and garden.
The lounge is a superbly proportioned room with windows to the front and double doors opening directly onto the paved garden.
This connection with the outside provides an attractive space for morning coffee, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the warmer months without the upkeep associated with a large garden.
Both bedrooms are doubles, giving the flexibility to create a comfortable guest room, study or hobby space if required. A fitted loft ladder provides access to useful storage above.
The bathroom continues the home’s quality finish, featuring a bath with shower over, glazed screen and tiled surround, complemented by a vanity wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.
A wall-mounted boiler provides the central heating. A driveway alongside the garden provides off-road parking.
The enclosed garden has been paved to create a secure and particularly low-maintenance outside space, ideal for buyers who want somewhere private to sit and entertain without spending their weekends looking after a large plot.
Cropston offers the atmosphere of a traditional Charnwood village while remaining particularly convenient for everyday life.
The village has two pubs and lies beside Cropston Reservoir and Bradgate Park, placing some of Leicestershire’s most beautiful countryside and walking routes within easy reach.
Nearby Anstey and Rothley provide a wider range of shops and amenities, while the location is also well placed for Loughborough, Leicester, the M1 and the surrounding Charnwood villages.
Whether you already live locally and would like to bring a loved one closer, or you are looking for a secure and stylish village home that can simply be locked up whenever you travel, This newly built home on Stamford Drive presents a rare and appealing opportunity.
