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
Detached Bungalow – New Byth, Aberdeenshire Set within the peaceful village of New Byth, this detached bungalow offers a traditional façade with roughcast render, twin bay windows, and a central entrance framed by decorative corbels.
A hipped roof with dual chimneys adds architectural character, while rooftop solar panels provide a sustainable energy feature.
The property is approached via a paved driveway with lawn frontage, enjoying a quiet residential setting.
Internally, the entrance hall leads to a series of well-proportioned rooms, each offering scope for refurbishment.
The living room features a fireplace set against a brick-effect wall, with floral wallpaper and a bay window providing natural light.
A second reception room connects directly to the kitchen, presenting clear potential for open-plan redesign.
The kitchen itself offers a practical footprint with fitted cabinetry and rear window aspect, while a separate utility room provides additional storage and appliance space.
Two double bedrooms are positioned off the main hall, each with generous proportions and natural light.
The bathroom retains a vintage character with floral tiling and wood panelling, and includes accessibility features.
To the rear, the property benefits from a fully enclosed garden with mature trees and ample space for landscaping.
While the grounds and interiors would benefit from cosmetic attention, the overall layout and setting present a compelling opportunity for renovation or investment.
