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
Well looked after and occupying a pleasant position within an established and highly regarded residential setting, just a short walk from the heart of Shildon town centre, this attractive detached bungalow offers the perfect balance for those seeking low-maintenance living.
Ideally suited to those looking to downsize without compromise, the property provides generous and well-planned accommodation alongside a substantial plot with garage and sunroom.
Set back in this desirable position, the property immediately delivers a strong first impression.
The frontage has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance while still retaining character and kerb appeal, with mature planting and paved seating areas creating an inviting approach.
Internally, the accommodation is well-balanced and flows effortlessly throughout. A central hallway connects the home, leading into a spacious principal living room positioned to the front.
The fitted kitchen is well-proportioned and practical in design, offering ample storage and workspace while remaining conveniently positioned close to the main living accommodation.
The bungalow offers two well-sized bedrooms, both comfortably accommodating double furnishings, alongside a sizeable bathroom suite. Externally, the property truly comes into its own.
The gardens have clearly been a labour of love, with extensive decorative gravelled sections, paved entertaining areas, established borders and carefully maintained planting creating an exceptionally low-maintenance outdoor environment.
The addition of a sunroom creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, reading or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings throughout the seasons.
Whether enjoying quiet afternoons in the sun or hosting visiting family and friends, the outside space offers versatility rarely found with homes of this style.
The extended, detached garage further enhances practicality. Homes of this nature, particularly those combining manageable single-level living and such impressive outdoor space, are rarely available.
An internal inspection is strongly recommended to fully appreciate both the setting and lifestyle this superb bungalow has to offer.
