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 interesting detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity within a highly regarded residential district of Etching Hill, close to the Cannock Chase National Landscape, one of England’s finest landscapes, with superb walking, cycling and horse riding in a tranquil and peaceful setting.
Being of non-standard construction, the property stands well within a generous garden plot, with mature front and rear gardens.
The two-bedroom accommodation also has a lounge and dining area, a kitchen, a conservatory, and a shower room.
The scope and potential in the property and plot are plain to see, and early viewing would be encouraged to truly appreciate all the property has to offer.
The highly regarded area is home to some of the finest properties in the district, and given the combination of money, imagination and planning permission, this too could be a truly outstanding home.
Please note that the construction type may impact mortgage availability.

This is paid in advance when an offer is agreed, and once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Bill Tandy and Company Estate prior to a sales memorandum being issued.
This charge is non-refundable.
