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
A spacious, well maintained detached 3 bed bungalow with large conservatory, garage, parking area and modern chalet/studio, occupying a mainly level site within walking distance of the town centre and scope for adding value SITUATION: The property is located on the level entrance to Jessopp Avenue, with easy access onto the Happy Island public hard-landscaped walkway to the Co-op and Lidl supermarkets.

There is also a community bus service into the town on market days.
There is a very supportive and friendly local community and this is a well established and popular residential area where few sales take place.
