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.

Occupying an elevated position within a quiet cul-de-sac on the Pitts Hill/Little Chell border, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for a property with scope for modernisation, generous outside space and excellent potential.
The bungalow is a 1960s Kencast construction, incorporating concrete panel construction, and was subsequently extended circa the 1970s.
The property requires modernisation throughout, but its spacious accommodation, extensive plot and enviable setting make this a property that is well worth viewing.
The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a wide hallway, a large lounge/diner, kitchen, three good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom.
The property sits within an extensive elevated plot, with the rear garden backing onto a small stream and enjoying a particularly open and peaceful setting.
Austin Playing Fields sit directly alongside the property, providing an attractive open space right on the doorstep.
Externally, the front garden is arranged over tiers and designed for relatively low maintenance, with a paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to the first detached garage.
There is gated access through to the rear garden, along with access to the kitchen.
To the opposite side of the property, steps lead up to the main entrance, with further access continuing through to the substantial rear garden.
The extensive rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's key features, offering a paved patio area with steps leading down to a large lawn.
There is also a greenhouse and a concrete base, ready to be utilised for whatever the new owner has in mind – whether that be additional garden storage, a workshop, entertaining space or further landscaping.
Adding further appeal are two separate garages.
The first is accessed from the property's driveway, whilst the second is a detached single garage with a parking space situated separately from the property, just across the road and within sight of the bungalow.
This provides excellent additional storage, workshop or parking potential. The location is also a major attraction.
The property is within walking distance of local schools, amenities and commuter links, with access to road, rail and bus networks providing connections into Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding towns and villages, as well as wider destinations including Manchester, Liverpool and beyond.
Whether you are looking for a bungalow to make your own, seeking a project with plenty of outside space, or looking for a property with potential to suit a range of requirements, this home offers an exciting opportunity.
Properties offering this combination of bungalow accommodation, extensive gardens, a quiet cul-de-sac position and two separate garages are rarely available.
We strongly recommend an early viewing to appreciate the space, setting and potential this property has to offer.

Further details are available in the catalogue Addendum Check the latest addendum at buttersjohnbee.com for any alterations or changes to the catalogue Guide Price An indication of the seller’s current minimum acceptable price at auction.
The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase.
It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing.
As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued.
This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall.
A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition).
Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Reserve The seller’s minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell.
The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer.
Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction Proof of Identity To comply with Money Laundering Regulations, all bidders must provide identification when registering to bid at auction.
The successful purchaser will then be required to provide two forms of identification to complete the Landmark verification process.
