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
Immaculate dormer bungalow with views at the rear, generous parking and garage.
Local Occ applies and no onward chain OVERVIEW Having lovely fell views at the rear, generous off road parking and immaculate decoration both inside and out, this detached dormer bungalow is ready to move into.
Perfect for a range of buyers, there is space for everyone - those looking to future proof their next home will appreciate the ground floor bedroom with ensuite whilst families will love the feeling of space around the property plus the excellent location in the popular village of Staveley.
Constructed in 2019, the property has good energy efficiency credentials along with a high standard of internal fitments and lots of built in storage - a rarity in new build homes.
- Staveley lies within the Lake District National Park and is popular with lovers of the outdoors.
There is a strong community spirit and an excellent range of local amenities including doctors, primary school and railway station. Crookfield is a modern development on the outskirts of the village.
Combining homes for first time buyers, families and renters, the development has open green space and is well laid out. Available with no onward chain.
ACCOMMODATION From the double width block paved driveway, a cheery pale blue front door leads into the welcoming hallway.
Having three cupboards in which to store coats, shoes and household items, the hallway can remain clutter free - one of the cupboards houses the Ideal boiler.
The ground floor bedroom leads towards the rear of the property and a further door into the lounge. The bedroom has a great view over the garden towards the distant fell and is a good sized double.
A Sharps double wardrobe has been added and there is a modern ensuite fitted with a double shower enclosure (both a fixed head and riser spray installed), WC and hand basin.
The chrome heated towel rail keeps the room toasty and there is a shaver point and extractor.
The lounge has a sense of calm and space with a box bay window overlooking Crookfield at the front, additional light comes in from the window on the stairs.
- The kitchen is at the rear and fitted with contemporary wood grain effect units, contrasting dark worktops and a stainless steel sink.
There is an integrated fridge freezer, gas hob with hood above, electric oven and plumbing for a washing machine/dishwasher. A door leads to the garden and there is space for a dining table.
- From the lounge, stairs lead to the first floor where there is yet more storage in the airing cupboard with eaves space behind.
The principal bedroom runs the depth of the property and is a good size. The dormer style window has a lovely view over green space and Staveley Village towards distant fells and dales.
A further rooflight at the front ensures the room is light and bright. The fitted high quality Sharps wardrobes and drawers are finished in white.
The third bedroom offers versatility and could be used as a home office if required. There is access to the lit eaves storage.
Completing the internal accommodation is the modern bathroom - again light and bright with a rooflight, bath, WC and hand basin.
- Once outside, buyers will appreciate the lovely views from the rear garden and location on the fringe of the village. The rear garden has a sloped lawn area with feature rocks and a patio.
The green space at the rear forms part of a wildlife corridor incorporated into the original planning scheme. At the front of the property is a double width driveway plus lawn area.
The garage is larger than average and has an electric up and over door, power and light.
