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 to the market with no forward chain, this detached bungalow presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a well-positioned home with a particularly generous plot and an abundance of potential.
Situated within the peaceful and established cul-de-sac of Lilac Place, Meopham, the property offers versatile single-storey accommodation, excellent outside space and a number of options for a purchaser looking to make the home their own.
The accommodation is approached via a welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to the main living areas & bedrooms.
At the heart of the property is the impressive, extended living space, comprising a well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining room and separate sitting room, creating a sociable arrangement that works equally well for everyday family life and entertaining.
The configuration also provides three generous double bedrooms (master including air-conditioning), a useful study/office and two wash rooms, including an en-suite shower room and a further family bathroom.
The current study offers particularly interesting potential, as this area could be easily converted into a fourth bedroom.
This would create a genuinely useful additional bedroom without requiring major structural alterations, making the accommodation even more flexible for family living, guests or those requiring further, designated sleeping space.
Outside, the property is equally impressive.
Occupying a substantial plot with a wrap-around garden, there is considerable scope to create a wonderful outdoor environment tailored to individual requirements.
There is already a large BBQ area which could be enjoyed immediately or, subject to the necessary works, transformed into a modern outdoor kitchen, creating an excellent space for summer entertaining and alfresco dining.
The generous garden also provides plenty of room for seating, play areas, planting and further landscaping, while the plot itself offers a degree of space and flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find.
To the rear corner of the garden, there is a building which has been used as a hobby room / workshop but could be used as a gym or home office.
A detached double garage provides valuable additional storage and parking, benefitting from an electric, up-and-over door and an EV charging point, catering particularly well for modern-day requirements.
The driveway to the front provides further off-road parking.
Subject to the necessary permissions (STPP) but with a fine precedent set locally, the property also benefits from a wealth of potential for extension or further development.
Lilac Place is a quiet residential cul-de-sac within the popular village of Meopham, offering the benefit of a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently placed for local amenities.
Meopham provides a good selection of everyday facilities, including shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants and local services, together with primary and secondary schooling.
For commuters, Meopham railway station is within easy reach and provides Southeastern services towards London Victoria, while Longfield station offers an additional rail option.
Road links are also convenient, with access to the A2, M2, M20 and M25, while Ebbsfleet International provides access to High Speed rail services.
For leisure and shopping, Bluewater Shopping Centre, Gravesend town centre and Cyclopark are all readily accessible.
Meopham also benefits from its attractive North Downs setting, providing opportunities to enjoy the surrounding countryside, whilst retaining excellent connections to the wider Kent and London areas.
With its no-chain advantage, substantial plot, wrap-around garden, detached garage and further scope, this is a property with genuine versatility and exciting potential.
