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 along the ever-popular 'The Serpentine' in Aughton, this well-positioned semi detached bungalow offers an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, flexibility, and future potential.
Aughton remains one of West Lancashire’s most desirable locations, renowned for its excellent schools, strong transport links, and a vibrant selection of restaurants and eateries catering to a variety of tastes.
The property enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views towards Liverpool, while offering generous accommodation across both ground floor and loft level.
A porch entrance leads into a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the accommodation. The main lounge is a well-proportioned and bright living space, ideal for relaxing and entertaining.
To the rear, the kitchen diner provides a sociable hub of the home, with ample space for dining and direct access to the garden.
The layout offers excellent scope for modernisation or extension (subject to the necessary permissions), making it ideal for those looking to create a contemporary open-plan living environment.
The ground floor accommodation is completed by two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a practical utility room which connects through to the attached garage offering excellent storage solutions and further potential for conversion if required.
Loft Rooms & Development Potential The loft area has been adapted to provide a range of useful rooms, including a front-facing room with fitted wardrobes, a shower room comprising WC, hand basin and shower cubicle, a designated office space, additional storage areas, and a further rear room.
These rooms are currently not classified as official bedrooms but present a fantastic opportunity for a buyer to formalise the space (subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permission and building regulations), creating additional bedrooms and significantly enhancing the overall value of the property.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is off-road parking and a well-maintained approach.
The rear garden is a particular highlight, featuring a patio area, lawn, and mature hedging offering privacy and a pleasant outdoor setting, along with those impressive open views towards Liverpool.
