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
Central village location - Nestled in the heart of the highly sought after and bustling village is this well maintained detached bungalow which is offered for sale with no upward chain.
Situated just off the High Street and within easy reach of the various amenities the bungalow comprises entrance hall, spacious kitchen/dining room, lounge, two double bedrooms (one with modern en-suite) and a modern shower room.
Outside there is a wrap around garden, driveway and large single garage with a room at the rear which is currently used as a utility but offers great scope for use as a home office/studio or potentially to be converted to an annex (subject to planning consent).
The property benefits from gas central heating and solar panels contributing to the electricity and due to the scarcity of such bungalows viewing is highly recommended.
