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 towards the top end of the ever-popular Strensall Road, this two-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous plot and offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and create a home to their own taste.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property has been lovingly owned by the same owner for approximately 30 years.
The attractive double bay-fronted bungalow is entered via a porch, leading into a central hallway that provides access to all principal rooms.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, a spacious bay-fronted living room, and a fitted kitchen with ample space for a dining table, making it ideal for everyday family living.
The kitchen also houses the newly installed boiler (2026) and provides access to a useful rear reading room/boot room, offering a practical additional space overlooking the garden.
The accommodation is completed by a bathroom and a separate WC.
Although the property would benefit from modernisation throughout, it offers tremendous potential for refurbishment, extension (subject to the necessary permissions), or simply updating to suit individual requirements.
Externally, the bungalow stands on a generous plot with a driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
To the rear is a garden featuring a patio seating area and two useful brick-built storage sheds.
To the side of the property are several established fruit trees and a lawned area, adding further character and appeal to the outdoor space.
Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout, a newly installed boiler in 2026, and the advantage of being offered with no onward chain.
A rare opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow in a sought-after location with excellent scope to add value and create a wonderful long-term home.
