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 rare opportunity has arisen to secure this three-bedroom detached bungalow on Castlehill Road, Ayr, offering excellent potential for buyers seeking a home they can personalise and make their own.
Ideally suited to downsizers or those looking for flexible living space, the property combines a generous footprint with plenty of scope to enhance and adapt to individual tastes.
The property already benefits from a sunroom to the rear, providing a bright and versatile additional living area, along with a large attic conversion currently used as a third bedroom, offering valuable extra accommodation without extending the property's footprint.
Outside, a driveway and garage provide excellent parking and storage options, while the mature front garden adds kerb appeal.
To the rear, a large, low-maintenance garden offers a fantastic outdoor space that can be enjoyed as it is or tailored to suit a buyer's lifestyle.
Located in the well-regarded Castlehill area of Ayr, the property is conveniently positioned close to local amenities and transport links, including Ayr town centre and railway station.
Early viewing is highly recommended for buyers looking to secure a detached bungalow in this sought-after location.
