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
Situated within the sought-after Old Bonhill area, 16 Dillichip Close is a beautifully reconfigured four-bedroom detached villa presented in immaculate condition throughout, with an easily reinstated fifth bedroom option.
Originally dating from the late 1980s, the property forms part of a small, established development and enjoys an open rear outlook over green space towards the Carman Hills.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a bright, flowing living space ideal for modern family life.
A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a stylish semi open-plan lounge, dining area and stunning kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with substantial, deep-profile units, solid wooden worktops, a gas hob, integrated appliances and a bespoke central island with Belfast sink - creating a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining.
Sliding patio doors provide direct access to the south-facing rear garden.
Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with extensive fitted storage and a large waist-height sink, currently utilised as a convenient dog wash - ideal for pet owners or those who enjoy the surrounding countryside.
A cosy, snug/playroom offers flexible additional living space with direct garden access.
A ground-floor bedroom with a contemporary en-suite shower room provides excellent guest accommodation or multi-generational living. A WC and useful under-stair storage complete the level.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms. The principal bedroom to the rear enjoys open views and currently incorporates a generous dressing room accessed directly from the bedroom.
This space was originally configured as a separate fifth bedroom and could easily be reinstated if desired, offering excellent flexibility for larger families or home working.
The recently installed family bathroom is finished in neutral tones with quality tiling and a heated towel rail.
The property is double glazed throughout and benefits from gas central heating, with the boiler having been replaced in recent years.
Externally, the south-facing rear garden has been designed with ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment in mind.
A patio area, lawn and pergola create defined outdoor spaces, while the impressive garden room - complete with power and lighting - offers an ideal home office, gym or entertaining space with a covered seating area for use in all seasons.
The outdoor building also benefits from additional shed/storage space. Raised planting beds include a mature grape vine, adding character and a lovely seasonal touch to the garden.
To the front, a private mono-block driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles.
