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
This spacious, traditional family home exudes warmth and comfort throughout. Its attractive frontage is complemented by a sizeable driveway in front of the property's garage.
The main entrance to the bungalow is via a porch which leads directly into a spacious, dual-aspect reception room with patio doors leading out onto a pretty patio and garden beyond.
The hallway is accessed from this bright room, presenting doors to the left to a kitchen, family bathroom and separate shower room, with two bedrooms opposite, the largest of which benefits from two deep fitted double wardrobes.
The property's most generous reception room lies beyond, currently divided into a bright living room with access to the delightful garden and an elegant dining room to the front.
A door leads from the dining room into a second hallway, off of which the second bedroom and the large family kitchen is accessed, as well as a useful utility room.
Conveniently, a second porch and entrance to the bungalow is located adjacent to the main kitchen.
An additional benefit of the bungalow is that it can be separated off into a one bedroom self contained annex with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room.
