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 3 bedroom bungalow tucked away on a quiet well hidden lane, within this well thought of village and which benefits from gardens to both front and rear, as well as ample off street parking and garaging.
No onward chain.
Woodpeckers From the entrance porch there is a glazed door to front, where there can be found further glazed double doors leading into the main entrance hall, within which there is a cupboard housing the hot water tank, as well as access to loft space.
The sitting room features a brick fireplace, as well as two wall lights and is open to the dining room/conservatory, which overlooks the front garden.
The kitchen comprises a range of wall, base and drawer units, including double oven, hob with extractor hood over, plus sink unit, with mixer taps and splashback tiling, with further integral appliances including fridge and freezer.
The property also benefits from tiled flooring, as well as two built in cupboards and stable door to garden.
The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden, as does Bedroom 2, whilst Bedroom 3 which overlooks the front also has a range of built in cupboards, with this bedroom having been used as a craft bedroom in the past.
The shower room comprises shower cubicle, concealed low flush cistern, vanity wash handbasin, mixer taps, and heated towel rail, plus tiled floor and walls.
Outside To the front of the property there is a gravel drive, which provides ample parking and in turn leads to a detached garage, with light and power, plus up and over door to front and personal door leading into the rear garden.
Access to the rear can be gained via either side, with the rear garden itself offering a high degree of privacy and within which there were two storage sheds.
Overall, given the tucked away position in which the property is located, the good level of bright and airy living accommodation, as well as ample parking and very private rear garden that it benefits from, we are of the view the property will attract a good level of enquiries and would recommend an early inspection to avoid disappointment.
Location The property is located near to the centre of the village of Cotton and also the church, with the nearby village of Bacton providing a range of services including doctors' surgery, primary school, garage, shop/post office and Bacton Bull Public House.
Whilst the village of Cotton also benefits from the Trowel & Hammer Public House.
