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
Set within Folkestone’s sought-after West End, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers the rare combination of generous single-level living, excellent parking, and a home that has clearly been cared for.
Over the last 15 years the property has been extended twice, and it shows in the way the space now works.
The layout flows easily from room to room, making it ideal for anyone looking to avoid stairs, improve day-to-day accessibility, or simply enjoy the simplicity of bungalow living without feeling compromised on space.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan living, kitchen and dining room, a brilliant social hub with a natural, airy feel that suits everything from quiet evenings in to having friends and family round.
There’s also an abundance of storage cupboards throughout, which keeps the home feeling tidy and functional without sacrificing living space.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the two-bathroom setup is a real luxury in a bungalow, with an en-suite to the principal bedroom.
The WC has also been thoughtfully specified to sit a little higher than standard, offering additional comfort.
Outside, the rear garden has been designed to be enjoyed rather than maintained, with smart block paving and a south-west aspect that catches the best of the afternoon and evening sun.
Side access adds everyday convenience, while the powered shed and summerhouse provide flexible space for hobbies, storage, or a quiet spot to work from home.
To the front, an in and out driveway makes parking effortless for multiple vehicles, and the attached double garage adds yet more practicality, with potential for conversion into further living space, subject to planning.
Solar panels across the roof and a boiler fitted in 2023 round off the offering nicely, adding modern efficiency to a home that’s already exceptionally well presented.
For anyone looking for detached, single-floor living in one of Folkestone’s most desirable areas, with genuine flexibility for the future and no onward chain, this one is a standout.
