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.

General Comments - An individual detached bungalow occupying a generous plot in an established residential close, with driveway parking, a detached garage and gardens to the front and rear.
The property enjoys a particularly attractive outlook across the surrounding countryside and offers well-proportioned accommodation with scope for some cosmetic updating.
The accommodation extends to approximately 680 sq ft, with a further 174 sq ft provided by the garage.
An entrance hall connects all of the principal rooms, including a light and spacious dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a tiled shower room.
The lounge/dining room is an excellent reception space, measuring approximately 16'7" x 11'2".
Large windows allow plenty of natural light into the room while framing the far-reaching rural views beyond the neighbouring properties.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles and benefit from wood-effect flooring.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and provides a range of fitted units, work surfaces and space for freestanding appliances, together with a door to the outside.
The shower room is fully tiled and fitted with a corner shower enclosure, WC and pedestal wash basin.
Outside, the bungalow is set back behind a lawned front garden, with a driveway running alongside the property and leading to the detached garage.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, and includes a timber garden shed. The outside space offers an appealing blank canvas for keen gardeners.
This conveniently arranged bungalow would make an excellent permanent home, retirement property or renovation opportunity.
The combination of single-storey accommodation, generous gardens, parking, garage and open countryside views makes early viewing highly recommended. Sold with no chain and vacant possession.
