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
Set within a quiet, tree-lined turning is this impressive detached five-bedroom bungalow which offers exceptionally versatile accommodation, complemented by a self-contained annex and a detached double-length garage.
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, the property enjoys a rarely available position within Oaklands, moments from scenic woodland walks, while providing a superb balance of privacy, tranquillity, and convenient access to local amenities and excellent transport links.
The principal residence opens into a well-appointed kitchen and an impressive 21ft dual-aspect sitting room.
Flooded with natural light, this reception space features doors opening directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The main accommodation further comprises three bedrooms, including a spacious main suite with en-suite bathroom, alongside a versatile third bedroom ideally suited for use as a study or home office.
A contemporary family shower room completes this section of the home.
The self-contained annex, accessed from the main entrance hall, represents approximately one-third of the overall accommodation and provides a fully independent living environment.
Arranged with its own internal hallway, the annex includes a fitted kitchen, utility room with space and plumbing for laundry appliances, a bathroom, and two additional bedrooms - one currently utilised as a home office - along with a flexible study or storage room.
This thoughtfully designed space is ideally suited to guest accommodation, professional use or multi-generational living.
Externally, the mature and private grounds offer significant appeal, with well-established gardens providing both seclusion and scope for enhancement.
The detached double-length garage affords secure parking and workshop potential, with further opportunity for conversion (subject to the necessary consents).
The substantial plot also presents exciting potential for extension, remodelling, or redevelopment (subject to planning permission), enabling prospective purchasers to create a truly bespoke home in one of Oaklands’ most desirable and discreet locations.
Oaklands is a highly regarded residential area located just to the north-east of Welwyn village, bordered by attractive woodland and offering access to scenic countryside walks.
