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
Summary An exceptional detached bungalow set within an exclusive gated development just off Thorpe-le-Soken High Street.
Offering high-spec finishes, vaulted ceilings, bi-fold doors, private garden with hot tub, and the rare benefit of no age restrictions.
Description Situated just off the High Street in the sought-after village of Thorpe-le-Soken, this beautifully presented detached bungalow forms part of an exclusive and secure gated development of only eight properties.
Finished to an exceptional standard, the property offers a unique blend of character and contemporary living, with standout features including vaulted ceilings, arched windows, and high-quality Karndean flooring throughout.
The spacious living accommodation is enhanced by bi-fold doors opening onto the rear garden, allowing for plenty of natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The heart of the home includes a well-appointed kitchen complete with a traditional aga, while the living space is centred around an attractive wood-burning stove (installed approximately two years ago).
Further benefits include triple glazing and bespoke shutters fitted to all windows.
Externally, the property enjoys a private rear garden with a fully functioning hot tub, providing the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining.
Of particular note, while the surrounding properties within the development are designated for the over 55s, this individual bungalow is exempt from such restrictions, making it a rare and highly desirable opportunity.
