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
Offered for sale with no forward chain, this three bedroom detached bungalow occupies a lovely position within the established and highly sought-after River Close, conveniently placed for Wimborne town centre.
A particular attraction is the combination of generous single-storey accommodation, driveway parking, garage and a good-sized, mature and private rear garden.
Properties within River Close are predominantly detached bungalows, and the setting offers a pleasant established feel whilst remaining exceptionally convenient for the town.
Accommodation: The principal reception room is a particularly impressive feature, extending to approximately 20' x 16'8" maximum in an l-Shape formation and therefore of a double aspect, providing ample space for both sitting and dining areas.
Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and provide an attractive outlook over the front garden and towards the river.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces and has a serving hatch to the living room.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, The larger of the room having fitted wardrobes with sliding doors, Bedroom two having an ensuite shower room, with the 3rd having french doors to the garden so could equally be a second living space if desired.
A separate bathroom and additional WC further complement the accommodation. Outside and gardens: The outside space is a real feature of the property.
To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking and access to the attached garage, with established planting giving the bungalow an attractive, mature frontage.
To the rear is a generous and wonderfully established garden, offering a good degree of privacy.
Predominantly laid to lawn, it features an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and planting around its boundaries, creating a particularly green and secluded setting.
A paved terrace immediately adjoining the bungalow provides space for outdoor seating, with the remainder of the garden offering plenty of scope for a keen gardener or simply somewhere to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The overall plot and arrangement also provide exciting potential for a future owner wishing to enhance the property, subject of course to any necessary consents.
Location & area: River Close is a small, established cul-de-sac close to the heart of Wimborne Minster, an excellent position for those wanting the convenience of the town whilst enjoying a quieter residential setting.
Wimborne is renowned for its historic Minster, attractive town centre and excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, together with the Tivoli Theatre.
The area is also well placed for beautiful Dorset countryside and convenient road connections towards Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding areas.
The location is particularly appealing for purchasers wanting to be within easy reach of Wimborne without relying on a car for every journey, and other River Close listings have specifically highlighted the ability to walk into town alongside the River Allen.
