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 upon a notably generous plot within the ever-popular village of Barton under Needwood, this three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy, and excellent potential.
Enjoying a quiet position on Cedar Road, the property offers a wonderfully versatile layout, well-maintained accommodation, and scope for modernisation or further development (subject to the relevant permissions), all while benefiting from the advantage of no upward chain.
A welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone on arrival, offering a useful storage cupboard and leading naturally into the principal areas of the home.
The kitchen is well arranged with an array of wall and base units, an eye-level oven, extractor fan, and ample work surfaces.
There is comfortable room here for a dining table, making it an ideal setting for casual family meals.
From the kitchen is an excellent utility space, adding practicality and flexibility to daily living.
The living room is a particularly charming feature of the property, offering generous proportions, a characterful feature fireplace and a large bay window that fills the room with natural light while providing a relaxing outlook onto the garden.
Continuing along the hallway, the shower room is fitted with a shower cubicle, hand wash basin and WC, serving the two ground-floor bedrooms.
Both bedrooms are pleasantly proportioned, making them suitable for guests, children, or use as office space if required.
To the first floor, the dormer extension creates a superb double bedroom, enhanced by fitted wardrobes and a convenient storage cupboard.
Beyond this lies a further section of loft space-an impressive area offering significant storage capacity and, for those with vision, clear potential for conversion (subject to planning permission).
The property's appeal continues outdoors, where gardens wrap around the front, side and rear.
The front is laid to lawn, while the rear garden offers both greenery and low-maintenance areas, including a stoned section and a concrete area at the far end that provides valuable off-road parking.
The size and layout of the plot ensure a good degree of privacy while also opening up possibilities for future enhancements or extensions (subject to the usual consents).
