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
This highly impressive three-bedroom bungalow, both in presentation and proportion, occupies a desirable position at the head of a cul-de-sac in the centre of Shepshed.
The property enjoys a wonderful private garden and a particularly spacious lounge diner measuring approximately 6.90m x 6.06m.
The lounge diner features a wood-burning stove, decorative beamed ceiling, dual-aspect glazing to the front elevation and double doors opening out to the patio.
Exposed timber flooring further enhances this attractive living space. On entry, a double-glazed door opens into a broad hallway with exposed timber flooring.
The lounge diner is positioned to the left, while the kitchen lies directly ahead.
The kitchen is another notable feature of the property, offering an attractive slate floor, space for a range cooker, a selection of base-level storage units with contrasting carcasses and doors, an integrated fridge freezer, a Smeg dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine and a breakfast bar.
Recessed LED lighting is positioned over the sink, which enjoys views over the feature garden, and there is also a rear access door from the kitchen.
Bedroom one is located to the front and has a double-glazed window with radiator beneath, together with predominantly candy-stripe wallpaper.
Bedroom two is positioned to the rear and enjoys views over the garden.
Bedroom three is also to the front and is a good size; reference should be made to the floor plan to fully appreciate the proportions of this third bedroom.
The shower room has been refitted and includes an easy-access walk-in shower cubicle with both an angled poised rainfall shower head and handheld shower fitment, together with an oblong wash hand basin with two drawer units beneath.
The WC has dual-flush capability, the walls are finished with aqua board for the cubicle, and there is a centrally heated chrome towel rail.
The Worcester Bosch boiler is only 18 months old and benefits from a 10-year guarantee that is transferable to the next owner.
Outside, to the front, there is an expanse of block paving providing off-road parking for at least four vehicles.
To the right elevation, the driveway continues to a brick-built garage with an electrically operated up-and-over door. The garage also benefits from an inspection pit, power and lighting.
An attached brick store is connected to the front of the garage. At the rear, a patio spans the full width of the property and is enclosed by railway sleepers.
A gently sloping path leads down to a further paved area, beyond which the manicured lawned garden extends away, complemented by a myriad of carefully planted shrubs and plants that have been established over the years to create a truly stunning garden.
The garden itself is fully enclosed by timber fencing and is not overlooked from beyond.
The Paddock is ideally positioned for access to the centre of the village, which is only a few minutes’ walk away, as is the local primary school.
This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a property of approximately 1057 sq ft, set on an impressive plot in the centre of Shepshed.
