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
Introducing The Styx, which is a beautifully presented, detached bungalow located in the popular and sought-after village of Lydbury North, found within the picturesque South Shropshire countryside, near to the English/Welsh border and a short commute to the nearby market town of Bishop's Castle.
Positioned towards the edge of the village, The Styx is ideally placed for a number of useful amenities and is a stone's throw from the primary school and the well-regarded Powis Arms pub, while slightly further afield is the community run village shop, making it a fantastic proposition for a wide variety of buyers.
Bishop's Castle lies approximately 3 miles from Lydbury North and offers a much wider range of independent shops, facilities and amenities.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, Lydbury North is surrounded by glorious countryside and there are many walks and trails leading you on rural adventures.

From the rear garden a paved path leads to the rear of the garage, which is fitted with power and lighting and an electric garage door, installed in 2021.
