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

The well presented accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen, utility room opening onto the terrace, three double bedrooms and shower room/WC.
Gas fired central heating and PVCu double glazing. Driveway providing off road parking and attached garage.
Ideal location approximately half a mile from the village of Hale Barns and an opportunity to remodel to individual taste.
Finchale Drive is a sought after cul de sac development containing bungalows of similar age, set well back beyond the grass verge and tree lined carriageway.
The delightful surroundings are further enhanced by wonderful mature landscaped gardens and a large plot approaching 0.25 of an acre, all of which combine to create an attractive setting.
Although obviously well cared for there is an opportunity to remodel to individual taste and many of the bungalows have been extended or re-planned and subsequently there is much further potential, subject to obtaining the relevant approval.
