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
A rare opportunity to purchase a two-bedroom detached bungalow situated at the end of a quiet no-through road within walking distance of Leiston’s amenities.
The current owners have lived here for eight years and have improved the property to a very high standard over the years.
The bungalow benefits from a detached garage, sizeable driveway providing off-road parking for three cars, low-maintenance rear garden which backs onto fields, double-glazing, and gas central heating.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, two bedrooms, a refitted kitchen with most of the appliances being integrated, a stylish refitted shower room, and a 20ft living/dining room.
Leiston is found a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, approximately 6 miles from Snape Maltings and approximately 5 miles from rspb Minsmere.
Home to the Long Shop Museum, Leiston has a good range of shops and amenities for all ages including a Co-op supermarket, chemists, hardware stores, a post office, doctors and dentist surgeries, a primary and secondary school, vets, library, sports centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a good selection of pubs and fast-food takeaways.
The town is served by a regular bus service to outlying villages and beyond and with Saxmundham’s railway station only four miles away, Ipswich and London are easily accessible.
You can also explore the 14th century Leiston Abbey ruins.
