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 well proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering excellent scope for modernisation, alongside ample gardens and driveway parking; enviably situated within a select cul-de-sac of homes within walking distance of Ellesmere town centre.
Description - Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 4 David Phillips Close in Ellesmere for sale by private treaty and with the benefit of no onward chain.
4 David Philips Close is a deceptively spacious two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupying a pleasant position within an established cul-de-sac.
The property offers well-proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 698 sq ft and, whilst requiring a scheme of modernisation and improvement, provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to create a comfortable home to their own specification.
Externally, the property benefits from driveway parking to the front together with an enclosed rear garden of manageable proportions, which again offers excellent potential for improvement and landscaping opportunities.
Situation - The property is pleasantly situated within David Philips Close, an established residential cul-de-sac within walking distance of Ellesmere town centre.
The town provides a good range of everyday amenities including independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, public houses, medical facilities and recreational opportunities, together with attractive walks around The Mere.
The larger centres of Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Whitchurch are all accessible by road, providing a wider range of shopping, leisure and transport facilities.
Schooling - Situated within a convenient proximity are a number of well-regarded state and private schools, including Ellesmere Primary School, Lakelands Academy, The Maelor School, The Madras Aided School, Criftins Primary School, Ellesmere College, Shrewsbury School, Adcote School for Girls, and Moreton Hall.
Directions - From our Ellesmere office, proceed north up Cross Street until reaching a mini-roundabout, here take the first exit onto Willow Street, continuing until a right hand turn leads onto Trimpley Street (signposted St.Martins); continue for approximately 0.2 miles until a left hand turn leads onto Cambria Avenue.
Around halfway down Cambria Avenue, a left hand turn leads onto David Philips Close where number 4 is positioned on the right and identified by a Halls "For Sale" board.
W3w - ///spring.respond.intrigued The Property - The accommodation is arranged entirely over the ground floor and is centred around a useful entrance hallway.
The principal living room is particularly well proportioned, extending to over 5m in length, with access through to a conservatory overlooking and opening onto the rear garden.
The kitchen is positioned to the front of the bungalow and is fitted with a range of base units and work surfaces, whilst offering clear scope for updating.
There are two bedrooms, the larger positioned to the rear, together with a bathroom currently arranged with a walk-in shower area, wash basin and WC.
The bungalow has been maintained in generally serviceable order but would now benefit from comprehensive cosmetic updating and selected modernisation, allowing an incoming purchaser to improve the accommodation to suit their individual requirements.
Outside - The property is approached from David Philips Close onto a private driveway providing useful off-road parking, with a small area of front garden alongside and a covered entrance leading into the bungalow.
To the rear is an enclosed garden arranged principally with paved patio areas and lawn, together with established shrubs and planting.
The conservatory opens directly onto the garden, creating a useful connection between the internal accommodation and outside space.
The garden presently requires some attention but offers considerable scope for improvement and landscaping.
Tenure & Possession - The property is said to be of freehold tenure and vacant possession will be granted upon completion.
Local Authority - Shropshire Council, Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY2 6ND.
Council Tax - The property is shown as being within council tax band B on the local authority register.
