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
Spacious Rhiwbina Bungalow with Drive, Garage and Private Garden Set in a peaceful position away from the road, this detached three bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity in a highly regarded area.
Built by the original owner in 1958/59 for his own family, the property has remained in family ownership ever since and comes onto the market for the first time. Offered with No Chain.
The bungalow offers generous accommodation with well proportioned rooms throughout.
To one side is a large 19ft living room leading into a spacious dining room, which in turn opens to the kitchen and conservatory beyond.
The opposite side is home to three double bedrooms, a shower room, and an additional bathroom.
The property would now benefit from some updating, but the size, layout, and character provide huge potential for a purchaser to modernise and create a wonderful home.
The loft is part boarded with a pull down ladder, while the boiler was replaced in 2023 and has been serviced annually since.
Externally, the property enjoys a neat front garden with driveway providing parking for several cars and leading to the garage.
To the rear, the level easterly facing garden is well established, private, and of an excellent size.
Ideally situated within walking distance of the local park and Rhiwbina Village with its lovely shops, cafes, and restaurants, the property is also just a short drive from Llanishen and Whitchurch villages and benefits from a nearby train station, making it exceptionally well connected.
