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
LAUNCH EVENT - Tucked away in a secluded rural nook, where rolling fields stretch endlessly to the horizon and the only sounds are the rustle of leaves and birdsong, Faircroft offers a rare opportunity to acquire a chain free detached bungalow set on a generous plot, with no immediate neighbours and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.
This is countryside living at its most tranquil, where privacy meets potential, and nature becomes part of everyday life.
Approached via a quiet country lane, Faircroft immediately charms with its expansive grounds and wraparound mature garden, lovingly tended over the years and now bursting with established shrubs, lush lawns, and a delightful orchard – perfect for those dreaming of growing their own produce or simply enjoying the seasonal bounty.
A metal garage sits to one side, providing practical storage or workshop space, while a detached garden room with its own shower room offers exciting annexe potential – ideal for multi-generational living, a guest suite, or a home office with a view.
Sep inside, and you'll find a home ready for transformation – a blank canvas full of promise and possibilities.
The generous porch is perfect for welcoming guests, with ample space for coats, boots, and muddy paws after countryside walks.
This leads into the central reception hall, where the layout unfolds with thoughtful division: living areas to the right and peaceful sleeping quarters to the left.
At the heart of the home lies the kitchen diner – a bright and functional space with ample cabinetry and room for a large dining table.
Whether you're cooking for family or entertaining friends, this is a room that naturally brings people together, with plenty of space to cook, chat, and dine in comfort.
Across the hall, the living room extends to an impressive 20ft in length, with a feature fireplace creating a warm focal point.
Patio doors draw in natural light and open into the conservatory, a tranquil space for reading, relaxing, or enjoying the ever-changing views across the garden.
With another set of patio doors leading directly onto the lawn, the conservatory offers a true extension of the living space – blending indoor comfort with outdoor freedom.
The sleeping quarters comprise three bedrooms – two of which are generous doubles – including a principal bedroom complete with a built-in walk-in wardrobe.
Each room enjoys lovely garden aspects, enhancing the calm and restful ambiance that defines this countryside retreat.
A three-piece family bathroom with shower over the bath serves all bedrooms, while a separate cloakroom adds convenience for visitors.
With its generous footprint, idyllic setting, and outbuildings offering future potential, Faircroft is more than just a bungalow – it’s a lifestyle opportunity.
