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.

The layout works particularly well for day-to-day living.
A wide central hallway gives the house an easy, practical flow, with the bedrooms set away from the main living space and the reception rooms naturally drawing you through to the rear garden.
The sitting room is a comfortable, well-proportioned space with plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, while the adjoining conservatory adds a lovely extra dimension; somewhere to dine, read or simply enjoy the garden across the seasons.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear and connects well with both the garden and the main living space, making it easy to imagine everyday family life here as well as weekend hosting.
There is a nice sense of separation between the social areas and the sleeping accommodation, which gives the bungalow a calm, easy feel.
There are three bedrooms in total, giving flexibility for guests, children or anyone needing a study or hobby room.
The principal bedroom to the front enjoys a bright bay window and generous proportions, while the remaining bedrooms are well served by the bath/shower facilities and separate WC.
The home is fully double glazed, has gas fired central heating and has access to Ultrafast fibre broadband. Step Outside - Outside, the rear garden is a real feature.
Being west-facing, it enjoys the best of the afternoon and evening sun, with a paved terrace for outdoor dining and a mature lawn beyond creating a private, established backdrop.
