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 acquire a property set within a plot of approximately 0.6 acres, beautifully tucked away in the village of Cleeve.
Occupying a generous and private position within its plot, Long Orchard is a detached bungalow offering well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, now presenting a superb opportunity for purchasers seeking a home to update and personalise.
The internal layout is arranged across a single level and comprises a welcoming entrance hall providing access to all principal rooms.
The sitting room is to the front and boasts a dual aspect, log burning stove, and affords views across the neighboring countryside, whilst the kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for informal dining and has the potential to be reconfigured or extended, subject to the necessary consents.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms in total, alongside a wet room servicing the living accommodation.
In addition, there is the potential to create an internal access to a garage/store, adding further flexibility for storage or conversion.
The property is in need of comprehensive modernisation throughout, however the scope, room sizes, and layout provide an excellent canvas for improvement, extension or redevelopment, allowing the next owner to create a home tailored precisely to their requirements.
Importantly, the property is offered to the market with no onward chain, ensuring a straightforward purchase.
Set within a substantial plot extending to approximately 0.6 acres, the grounds surrounding Long Orchard are one of its most appealing features and afford an enviable amount of space, along with attractive rural outlooks.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with established trees and hedging, creating a sheltered environment while still offering scope for landscaping, re-design or further planting.
There is also access to a coal bunker, adding to the charm and intrigue this wonderful property offers.
A driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached garage, which is of a good size and suitable for both vehicle storage and workshop use.
The scale of the plot offers significant potential, whether for those wishing to extend the existing dwelling, create additional outbuildings or simply enjoy the sense of openness and space that such land provides, subject always to relevant planning permissions.
The property is discreetly positioned and accessed via a bridleway which benefits from vehicular access, reinforcing the tucked-away nature of the setting and adding to the feeling of privacy and seclusion.
Chapel Lane is a quiet and lightly trafficked country lane, well regarded for its semi-rural feel while remaining conveniently placed for access to the surrounding villages and commuter routes.
Cleeve itself sits between the villages of Yatton and Backwell, both offering a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, schools, cafés, public houses and mainline rail stations with direct services to Bristol and beyond.
The area is well served by road links with the A370 and M5 providing access to Bristol, Weston-super-Mare and the wider North Somerset and South West regions.
The immediate surroundings are characterised by open countryside, bridle paths and footpaths, making the location particularly attractive to those who enjoy walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
Properties in plots of this size, offering such clear potential and privacy, are rarely available, and Long Orchard represents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking space, scope and a desirable rural setting, all within easy reach of everyday facilities.
