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 a highly regarded residential development in the popular market town of Wem, this extended and deceptively spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-proportioned home occupying one of the larger plots within the development.
Offering versatile single-storey accommodation throughout, the property is ideal for a wide range of purchasers including families, downsizers and those seeking flexible living space with the potential to further personalise and enhance.
The property occupies an attractive position with a generous frontage providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal accommodation, leading through to a spacious living room featuring a gas fire, creating a warm and inviting reception room.
Adjacent to the living room is a generous dining room with double opening doors leading directly onto the rear garden, creating an ideal space for both family living and entertaining.
The layout offers excellent scope for buyers wishing to create a contemporary open-plan living arrangement or to reconfigure the accommodation to suit their own requirements, subject to any necessary consents.
The kitchen retains its original serving hatch and is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units incorporating an integrated gas hob, built-in oven with grill, tiled splashbacks and a front-facing window providing an abundance of natural light.
The accommodation provides three versatile bedrooms.
A generous double bedroom is positioned off the main hallway, whilst the principal bedroom benefits from an adjoining conservatory overlooking the rear garden, providing a pleasant additional reception space with direct access outside.
Beyond the conservatory is a particularly adaptable third bedroom/sitting room, offering buyers excellent flexibility as guest accommodation, a home office, hobbies room or additional reception room.
This area is further complemented by both a bathroom and a separate shower room, making it particularly well suited to multi-generational living, visiting guests or those seeking independent accommodation within the home.
The family bathroom has been modernised and incorporates an electric shower with isolator switch.
Additional practical features include a useful utility/cloakroom, airing cupboard, Worcester Bosch combination boiler, recently installed consumer unit (fuse board), gas and electricity meters and full fibre broadband availability.
The property was extended in 1974 and has also benefited from a complete re-roof approximately two years ago, providing additional reassurance for prospective purchasers.
Externally, one of the property's most significant selling points is its generous plot.
The front and rear gardens are substantially larger than many comparable bungalows within the surrounding development, offering excellent outdoor space, a high degree of privacy and tremendous potential for keen gardeners or families.
The rear garden further benefits from a range of useful sheds and workshop buildings, providing excellent storage and practical workspace.
Combining spacious accommodation, generous gardens, extensive parking and a highly flexible layout, 23 Roden Grove represents an outstanding opportunity to purchase a well-proportioned bungalow within one of Wem's most sought-after residential locations.
