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 detached three-bedroom bungalow is situated on a quiet and popular road in Calne and offers well-proportioned accommodation with plenty of scope for improvement and renovation throughout.
A pretty arched open porch leads you to the double glazed entrance door which then opens into a good sized entrance hallway, giving access to the main living spaces.
The lounge/diner is a generous room with parquet flooring, two large windows providing plenty of natural light, and space for both sofa seating and a dining table.
There is a feature fireplace with an electric stove currently in place, with potential for a log burner subject to the necessary works.
The kitchen is a long, practical space fitted with cream units and overhead cupboards, offering good storage.
There is space for a freestanding cooker, along with under-counter space for a dishwasher and washing machine.
The wide window throws in loads of light and this room is ready for a re fit to your taste. Across the hallway is the smaller of the three bedrooms, suitable as a single bedroom or home office.
An airing cupboard is also located off the hallway. The shower room is relatively modern and features a large walk-in shower cubicle and a sink with vanity unit.
This is a room would need very little work and used to be fitted with a bath, so this could be re-instated if you'd prefer.
The main bedroom benefits from a generous window, space for freestanding wardrobes, along side a double bed and direct access into the conservatory.
The second bedroom is also a comfortable double with a large window and doors leading into the conservatory.
To the rear, the conservatory provides a useful additional generous living area with French doors opening out to the garden.
It makes the perfect place for a cuppa and would be a lovely summer living room.
The garden itself has a wide, deep patio area separated by a low wall, with the remainder mostly laid to lawn and a vegetable plot to the rear.
It offers good privacy and is not overlooked, with plenty of potential for landscaping. A side gate provides access back to the front of the property.
A shed is attached to the rear of the garage, but has seen better days. This space is waiting for a new owner to have the time to transform it back to its former glory.
To the front, the garden is a combination of gravelled areas and lawn and being a decent size sets the bungalow well back from the road.
There is a long paved driveway to the side leading to a single garage.
Overall, this is a well-laid-out bungalow in a desirable location, ideal for buyers looking for a property they can update and make their own.
We understand that the roof was replaced in recent years but mostly all other areas will require work and improvement, The property is within walking distance of Calne town centre (0.5 miles) which offers a good range of everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés, supermarkets, a library and leisure centre.
Calne also benefits from primary and secondary schools, medical facilities, and regular bus services to nearby towns such as Chippenham, providing access to mainline rail links to Bath and London Paddington.
