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

Situated in an elevated position within a private cul-de-sac, this well-presented detached bungalow enjoys far-reaching countryside views, a landscaped garden and additional independent accommodation.
Leading from the driveway the property is accessed via the conservatory leading to a central hallway providing access to the principal rooms.
The living room is a particularly light and inviting space, benefitting from large windows framing open field views and a feature log burner, creating a cosy focal point.
The recently fitted kitchen is stylish and practical, offering ample storage and worktop space, and leads through to a useful utility/boot room with external access ideal for day-to-day living.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both served by a contemporary family bathroom fitted with both a bath and separate shower.
A conservatory provides further reception space, enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden and offering flexibility for dining, relaxing or entertaining. Externally, the property truly excels.
The wraparound garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and arranged over tiers, creating a variety of seating areas and planting beds.
A paved terrace provides the perfect vantage point to take in the far-reaching views across the neighbouring fields.
A timber shed, complete with power (off grid solar) and lighting, offers excellent potential as a home office, studio or hobby space.
