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
Occupying a secluded position, this detached bungalow enjoys an exceptional level of privacy whilst remaining within easy reach of everything Poringland has to offer.
Approached via a long private driveway and sitting within a generous plot extending to approximately 0.20 acres (stms), the property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial single-storey home with tremendous potential.
Offering approximately 1280 sq. ft.
of accommodation, the bungalow has been well maintained over the years but now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
The welcoming central hallway provides access to four versatile bedrooms, any of which could alternatively serve as a home office, hobby room or additional reception space depending on individual needs.
A three-piece shower room is complemented by a separate adjoining WC, with obvious potential for the two spaces to be combined to create a larger family bathroom if desired.
The principal living accommodation is centred around a spacious sitting room featuring a focal point fireplace and enjoying excellent natural light.
An extension has enhanced the original footprint and created a useful study area together with an additional reception space off the sitting room, providing flexibility for modern lifestyles.
From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the generous conservatory, which enjoys attractive views across the surrounding gardens and creates an excellent space for relaxing or entertaining throughout the year.
The kitchen has also benefited from the extension and now offers ample work surface space and storage.
Beyond the kitchen is a substantial lobby area which could be reconfigured to create a utility room, boot room or further ancillary accommodation, subject to requirements.
Externally, the property truly comes into its own.
The mature south-facing gardens wrap around the bungalow and provide an exceptional degree of privacy, creating a wonderful environment for keen gardeners, families and those simply seeking a peaceful outdoor retreat.
The size of the plot offers ample space for planting, entertaining and outdoor enjoyment whilst retaining a wonderful sense of seclusion.
Parking is equally impressive, with the long private driveway providing extensive off-road parking in addition to a 22ft garage.
Detached bungalows occupying plots of this size and quality are becoming increasingly difficult to find within Poringland.
