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
Located within the highly sought-after Duddingston district of Edinburgh, this spacious detached bungalow offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their own style.
The property provides generous and well-proportioned accommodation throughout and, while it would benefit from upgrading and modernisation, it offers excellent potential to become a truly wonderful family home.
There is also the possibility of converting the substantial loft space, subject to the relevant planning permissions and approvals, which could further enhance the overall living space.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming vestibule leading into a central hallway that connects the main rooms of the home.
To the front of the property is a bright formal reception room featuring a fireplace and useful storage.
This versatile space could easily be adapted to serve as a generous principal bedroom if desired.
To the rear, the lounge enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and features a gas fireplace and neutral décor, creating a comfortable and relaxing living area.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and provides direct access to the garden through a convenient side door.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one positioned to the front of the property and another spacious rear-facing room which benefits from built-in storage.
The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a white three-piece suite including a WC, wash hand basin and bidet, alongside a separate shower cubicle with a thermostatic shower.
Externally, the property enjoys a decorative front garden and a gated driveway leading to a garage, providing off-street parking.
The rear garden is enclosed and offers a combination of lawn and a low-maintenance patio area, complemented by mature trees and established shrubbery, creating a pleasant outdoor space with plenty of potential for landscaping or further improvement.
