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
There’s something reassuring about an established bungalow.
The proportions tend to be generous, the rooms are properly sized, and there’s often the opportunity to shape the house around changing needs. This home offers exactly that balance.
The likely buyers here are those looking for single-storey living.
Perhaps downsizers wanting space for visiting family, buyers seeking a home they can move straight into and improve gradually over time, or those already considering the possibilities of extending or utilising the loft space - subject to the necessary permissions.
This home sits comfortably within one of Norwich's popular north-east suburbs, where everyday amenities, schools and regular bus services are all within easy reach.
Having been extended in the early 2000’s, what was once a small two-bedroom bungalow evolved into the comfortable and practical home you see today.
An entrance hall provides a welcoming arrival and draws you in. All three bedrooms are genuine doubles, something increasingly difficult to find.
The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a central bathroom.
The kitchen, although perhaps dated by today's style, is perfectly serviceable, generously proportioned and complemented by a separate utility room.
It leads through to a large dining room, with doors out to the rear garden, and also the comfortable living room.
Together, this space offers flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining, It could remain a formal dining space, become a study for working from home, or simply serve as an additional reception room when family and friends gather - the choice is yours.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the property is the loft space above - it offers obvious potential for future reconfiguration or conversion, subject to planning permission and building regulations.
Whether an additional bedroom, a home office or hobby space are envisaged, the opportunity is there for the next owner to explore.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, creating a private and manageable outdoor space.
A decked seating area tucked into one corner provides a natural spot for morning coffee or evening dining during the warmer months.
To the front, mature shrubs help screen you from the road, while the in-and-out driveway provides convenient parking and easy access to the garage. The location is equally practical.
Sprowston NR7 has long been one of Norwich's most established and sought-after residential areas, offering the convenience of city access without feeling overly urban.
Everyday essentials are close at hand, with supermarkets, independent shops, healthcare facilities, cafés and leisure amenities all readily available.
For families, there is a choice of schooling nearby, while regular bus services provide straightforward access into Norwich city centre either from a local bus stop or from Sprowston Park and Ride, just 2 minutes away by car.
For those commuting further afield, the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) is easily accessible, connecting to the A47 and wider road network across Norfolk, and not forgetting Norwich International Airport is just 10 minutes away, and with Norwich Train Station a little over 3 miles away, you could be in London Liverpool Street in 1hr 40mins.
Despite its convenience, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy green space nearby.
Local parks, woodland walks and open countryside on the northern edge of the city are all within easy reach, offering a balance between everyday practicality and outdoor living.
Norwich city centre lies just a few miles away, providing an extensive range of shopping, restaurants, entertainment and cultural venues.
