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
Generously proportioned three bedroom detached bungalow at the top of Biggin Hill, with a large, secluded garden, detached workshop and excellent scope to update and extend.
Set back from the road with driveway providing parking for several vehicles, this spacious detached bungalow occupies an established and private plot, with a beautifully stocked garden providing a wonderful backdrop to the property.
The accommodation extends to just over 1,400 square feet, complemented by a substantial detached workshop and summer house adding a further 356 square feet of useful ancillary space.
Offering an increasingly rare combination of generous single-storey accommodation, great outside space and potential to modernise and extend (subject to the usual planning consents), this is a property that can readily be adapted to suit a variety of future requirements.
The entrance hall sits centrally within the home, providing access to all principal rooms and creating an excellent flow between the living accommodation.
To the rear, the spacious sitting room enjoys views across the garden through large sliding doors, creating an attractive connection between the house and outside space.
This generously proportioned room also features an attractive fireplace with a large wood-burning stove.
The adjoining dual aspect kitchen/dining room provides an excellent entertaining space with ample room for both dining and everyday living.
A conservatory extends from the kitchen, overlooking the garden and providing further reception space with direct access outside.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage. Two of the bedrooms are positioned at the front of the bungalow and feature attractive plantation shutters.
An additional room is currently arranged as a small single bedroom but would work equally well as a home office, hobby room or useful storage space.
It also offers potential to be incorporated into the adjoining bedroom to create an en-suite shower room. A shower room and useful separate WC complete the accommodation.
Outside The garden is a particular highlight of the property. Beautifully established with an impressive collection of mature trees, shrubs and planting, it enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy.
An artificial lawn provides year-round practicality, complemented by paved seating areas, mature borders and a summer house, while the substantial detached workshop offers excellent storage, workspace or potential for a variety of hobbies.
Side access on both sides of the bungalow provides convenient access between the front and rear.
