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.

Situated at the end of a long shared driveway serving just two properties, this detached bungalow enjoys an exceptionally private position within one of Hindhead's most established residential locations.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernise and create a home tailored to their own tastes, having been a well-loved family home for over 20 years a key reflection of its generous accommodation, secluded garden, detached double garage and driveway parking.

The spacious sitting room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and is centred around a gas fireplace, creating an excellent reception room for everyday living.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of drawer and cupboard storage with ample work surface space and room for various white goods.
A useful lean-to conservatory provides additional storage and practical access to the garden.
A 2nd reception room provides either a dining room, family room or study, with access into a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, benefitting from doors opening directly onto the patio.
There are three good sized bedrooms (the principle bedroom benefitting from extensive built in storage), all served by a recently refitted contemporary wet room, whilst a separate cloakroom adds further convenience.
Although requiring updating throughout, the property has been well cared for and offers enormous potential for enlargement or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents, allowing buyers to create a superb long-term home in this highly sought-after location.
Outside, the property continues to impress.
The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy with mature trees and established planting creating a wonderfully secluded backdrop to a generous lawn with a patio adjoining the conservatory.
