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
Lon Gorm is a deceptively spacious and immaculately presented detached bungalow offering comfortable single-level living in the peaceful township of North Shawbost on the sought-after west side of the Isle of Lewis.
Occupying a generous, beautifully maintained plot within a quiet cul-de-sac setting, this attractive family home is presented in true walk-in condition and benefits from bright, well-proportioned accommodation, extensive outdoor space and a range of useful garden outbuildings.
Internally, the property offers flexible accommodation comprising a welcoming living room with multi-fuel stove, a bright dual-aspect kitchen/diner enjoying attractive views across the surrounding croftland, three bedrooms, a modern shower room and a family bathroom.
A practical utility porch provides excellent storage together with plumbing for laundry appliances and additional household storage.
The impressive kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home, offering ample space for family dining and featuring a multi-fuel stove with back boiler providing hot water, supplemented by an immersion heater when required.
The fully enclosed garden grounds are a particular feature of the property.
Meticulously maintained lawns are complemented by mature planting, decking areas, a sheltered hot tub enclosure, substantial summer house and timber shed - excellent outdoor living and storage facilities.
Ample private parking is available on the chipped driveway, which comfortably accommodates several vehicles.
North Shawbost is a desirable west side village renowned for its spectacular scenery, coastal walks and dramatic sea cliffs, many of which can be reached on foot from the property.
Local amenities include a primary school, community facilities and public transport links, while Stornoway, less than a half hour drive away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, healthcare, leisure and transport services.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained family home in one of Lewis's most attractive west side locations.
