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
Beautifully Extended Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Bungalow with Stunning Open-Plan Living This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow has been thoughtfully enhanced with a recently completed kitchen and living extension , creating a stunning contemporary space that really is the heart of the home.
The impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is undoubtedly the standout feature.
Designed with modern living in mind, the extension benefits from a striking roof lantern and expansive bi-fold doors , allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a wonderful connection between the inside and outside spaces.
The stylish kitchen features a central island with seating, a comprehensive range of integrated appliances and plenty of worktop and storage space.
A separate utility area provides additional practicality, keeping everyday household tasks neatly tucked away.
The generous living and dining space offers the perfect setting for everything from relaxed family evenings to entertaining friends, with the bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden, ideal for enjoying warmer days and alfresco dining.
The accommodation continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering space for wardrobes and bedroom furniture.
One of the bedrooms could also make an ideal home office or guest room, providing flexibility to suit different lifestyles.
The contemporary family bathroom is finished to a modern standard and features both a bath and a separate shower, offering the best of both worlds.
Throughout the bungalow, tasteful neutral décor and contemporary flooring create a fresh, welcoming feel, allowing the next owners to simply move in and enjoy.
Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking and a garden that can be enjoyed directly from the impressive open-plan living space.
Combining the convenience of single-storey living with the style and space of a modern extension, this is a home that offers far more than first meets the eye.
Beautifully presented and thoughtfully designed, it is perfectly suited to downsizers, families and anyone looking for stylish, easy-to-maintain living.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of the accommodation and the impressive extended living space.
