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
Since we sold this bungalow to the current owners in 2016, it has been transformed both inside and out.
Farmland runs alongside a very long garden which includes a matched set of buildings to include a GARDEN STUDIO, WORKSHOP & STORES.
The garden is also a joy, south facing and combining well with the well laid out interior. The current owners acquired the property via Harrison Edge in 2016.
During their ownership they have transformed the property not just inside but also outside.
Internally, the accommodation has been extensively rewired along with smart efficient windows and exterior doors fitted, new kitchen and bathroom installations, new oil fired boiler (sitting outside!) along with floorcoverings, decoration, internal doors and other modifications and improvements.
Outside particularly, a marvellous collection of matched outbuildings have been created which for those with hobbies and interests, will be a real boon.
What's more, to cap it all, at the far end of the garden, just past the Kitchen Garden area, lies a superb GARDEN STUDIO with two internal spaces and its own small woodburning stove.
Being south facing, the previous owner installed photovoltaic panels to the rear roofline taking advantage of the orientation.
Location Occold is one of the key villages surrounding Eye, only two miles away from the town and home to a real community of all age groups.
Much is due to the village retaining its Primary School, pub and support of a 21st Century built Community Centre/Village Hall.
Bus services continue through the village linking with the wider area and currently, an increasing network of routes. This property is known as being on both The Street and Bulls Hall Road.
Bulls Hall Road is a country lane which peters out into farm tracks and bridleway along with a number of Public Footpaths leading off. Consequently, there is little in the way of passing traffic.
Being part of the Eye catchment, we in this area are fortunate in being nicely central within the region which allows for almost equidistant travel to the key regional towns of Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Norwich along with up and down the Coast.
The bungalow itself sits alongside open farmland in a slightly elevated position and with a very long south facing garden.
With only bungalows behind (within a similarly large garden) and to the side the property enjoys a high degree of privacy.
Direction Once in the centre of Occold, take the turn by the Primary School into what is The Street. This continues seamlessly into Bulls Hall Road.
The Harwoods is the last bungalow on the right hand side.
