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.

Step into this charming bungalow through the entrance porch, featuring a UPVC entrance door and a side-facing window.
From here, step into the spacious L-shaped reception hallway-the central hub of the home.
This welcoming space includes a built-in coat cupboard, an airing cupboard, a loft hatch in the ceiling, and doors leading to all main rooms.
To the left, you'll find a beautifully appointed modern fitted kitchen, designed with style and practicality in mind.
Sleek base and wall cabinets line two sides of the room, featuring elegant shaker-style soft-close doors and drawers.
The kitchen is equipped with an electric hob, oven beneath, extractor hood above, and an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink with a mixer tap and tiled splashback.
A breakfast bar adds to the convenience, while a side door provides easy access to the driveway.
Next, the rear-facing sitting room is a generously proportioned space with coving to the ceiling and a stunning full-width picture window that frames breathtaking views over the garden, paddocks, and countryside beyond.
A door from this room leads directly to the patio area, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The bungalow offers three well-sized bedrooms, comprising two doubles and one single.
Particular attention should be given to the principal bedroom, which boasts a UPVC double-glazed picture window, allowing you to wake up to picturesque garden and countryside views.
The bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a panelled bath with a mixer shower, a pedestal wash hand basin, a WC, and full-height tiling to the walls.
Nestled in a sought-after, quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the village, the property enjoys a generous plot set back from the road behind a neatly maintained lawned front garden with shaped planted borders.
A driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the garage.
Gated side access takes you through to the glorious rear garden, where a sunny south-facing patio, well-kept lawns, mature planted borders, and a timber summerhouse create a peaceful outdoor retreat.
The stunning views extend over the paddocks and rolling countryside beyond.
The garage benefits from an electric up-and-over entrance door, lighting, power points, and a wall-mounted Worcester gas central heating boiler.
