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
Tucked away in a secluded corner of central Kirkwall, this charming three-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peace, privacy and beautiful elevated views, all within easy reach of the town centre.
Occupying a generous plot that once formed part of the original Manse garden and tennis court, the property enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting with mature gardens surrounding the home on three sides.
With spacious accommodation, a garage, greenhouse and ample parking, this is a unique home where early viewing is highly recommended.
The bright and spacious living room forms the heart of the home, with a feature fireplace and flowing naturally into the dining area, where a large window frames the lovely view across the garden.
A doorway leads through to the fitted kitchen, which is filled with natural light from a further large window overlooking the private rear garden.
The accommodation includes three well-proportioned double bedrooms together with a shower room, offering comfortable and versatile living throughout.
Externally, the extensive garden grounds create a peaceful oasis in the centre of town, with lawns, mature planting and excellent outdoor space to enjoy from the property’s elevated position.
A stone chip driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage with electric up-and-over door, while the greenhouse will particularly appeal to keen gardeners.
