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
Situated in the popular Fairfield area of Ilfracombe, this two-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a wide plot and benefits from an additional loft room.
The property offers a level lawned garden, detached garage and driveway parking, with scope for a buyer to update and put their own mark on the property.
Situated in the popular Fairfield area of Ilfracombe, this detached two-bedroom bungalow occupies a wide plot and offers a particularly appealing combination of garden, parking and garage space.
The accommodation provides two bedrooms together with the usual bungalow living accommodation, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.
Whilst the property would benefit from some updating internally, it offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and personalise the accommodation to their own requirements.
A staircase leading up from the living space leads to a very useful loft room which would make an ideal home office and has further room to extend.
One of the property's particular features is the generous plot.
The level lawned garden is a real asset and is relatively unusual to find in Ilfracombe, where many properties have more restricted or sloping outside space.
The property also benefits from a detached garage and additional driveway parking for a couple of vehicles.
The location is convenient for everyday amenities, being within relatively easy reach of the out-of-town supermarket, whilst Ilfracombe town centre and its range of shops, facilities and amenities are also a short distance away.
Overall, this is a well-positioned detached bungalow offering considerable potential, with the combination of a wide plot, level garden, garage and parking likely to be of particular interest to those looking for a property with useful outside space and scope for improvement.
