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
Tucked away at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac, is a deceptively large detached bungalow that offers something increasingly hard to find: Genuinely single-level living, in good order throughout, with a garden that has been properly looked after and an outbuilding with real potential.
The setting is the first thing that strikes you.
There is no through traffic, the neighbouring properties sit comfortably apart, and the open outlook to the rear draws the eye across the fields towards the Pennines.
It is the sort of position that suits both those looking to downsize without compromise and anyone wanting a low-maintenance base from which to explore the Eden Valley and the northern Lakes.
The accommodation Inside, the layout is straightforward and well proportioned.
The **lounge diner** forms the heart of the home — a generous, light room with ample space for both a comfortable sitting area and a full dining table, making it as suited to quiet evenings as it is to having family and friends over.
The **kitchen** has been fitted comparatively recently and is presented in excellent order, with good run of units and worktop and space for the usual appliances.
Leading off it is a small **boiler room**, which houses a recently fitted oil-fired boiler and provides handy additional storage — the sort of practical detail that makes day-to-day living easier.
There are **two double bedrooms**, both properly sized rather than nominally double, offering flexibility for a guest room, home office or hobby room alongside the principal bedroom.
The **walk-in wet room** deserves particular mention.
It has been finished to a very high standard, with a level-access shower area, and combines a genuinely smart appearance with the practicality and future-proofing that a fully accessible bathroom brings.
Outside The **rear garden** is fully enclosed and thoughtfully landscaped, with raised beds and a greenhouse for those who like to grow their own, and a pleasant place to sit and take in the view towards the fells.
It is designed to be enjoyed rather than endlessly maintained. The **attached garage** is a considerable asset.
Substantial in size, it lends itself immediately to use as a workshop, studio or serious storage — and, subject to the necessary planning consents, offers scope to be incorporated into the bungalow to create additional living accommodation should a buyer wish to expand.
There is also **generous off-road parking** to the front, comfortably accommodating several vehicles, a caravan or a motorhome. Lazonby Lazonby is one of the Eden Valley's most well-served villages.
Everyday needs are covered within walking distance, with a village store, a primary school and a pub, and the village is perhaps best known for its heated outdoor swimming pool — a genuine community institution — and for Bells of Lazonby, the long-established bakery.
Crucially for commuters and visitors alike, Lazonby & Kirkoswald station sits on the celebrated Settle-Carlisle railway line, offering direct services north to Carlisle and south through some of the finest scenery in England.
Penrith, roughly seven miles away, provides a fuller range of shopping, secondary schooling and supermarkets, along with junction 40 of the M6 and West Coast Main Line services to London and Glasgow.
The northern Lake District lies a short drive west, with the North Pennines an equally short drive east.
