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 beautifully presented LINK DETACHED BUNGALOW situated in the prestigious private BALLARD ESTATE in North Swanage, moments from the SEA & BEACH.
The property boasts THREE BEDROOMS, OFF-ROAD PARKING for TWO cars and modern, OPEN PLAN accommodation.
This detached bungalow is situated within a private estate a short walking distance via Burlington Chine to the north beach with the coastal paths to Old Harry Rocks and Studland Bay in close proximity, and 1.5 miles south along the promenade to the town centre.
This stylish property, we believe to have been built in the late 1970s, has been given a contemporary makeover in recent years and features include a spacious, open plan living/dining area with large sun room off, modern kitchen and, outside, low maintenance gardens and two separate driveways.
Via the main door into the entrance hallway to find the convenient utility room which has worktop with inset sink, space for appliances, cupboards housing the hot water cylinder with immersion heater, and gas boiler.
An air circulation system provides warm or cool air throughout the bungalow. Into the inner hallway and a door opens into the stunningly presented, light and spacious open-plan living area.
A feature fireplace with Purbeck stone surround houses the fitted wood burner and, ahead, glazed sliding doors welcome the morning sun.
Off the dining area, a second reception space has glazed surround and feature atrium style skylights to allow maximum ingress to light, and patio doors lead to the south-facing garden.
The low maintenance gardens with direct access from the living areas invite al fresco dining all year round.
To the side, a sleek, modern kitchen has an island unit with inset sink, a 'Siemens' inset double and pan ovens, induction hob with filtration hood over and integral fridge/freezer.
Return through the living room and an inner entrance hall leads to the three double bedrooms all of which have fitted wardrobes - the master bedroom with patio doors to the garden, includes modern en suite shower, hand basin and WC.
The elegant family bathroom has shower over the bath, basin and WC and a separate WC completes the accommodation. Outside, find the gravelled driveway and second parking space.
