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
Offered with no onward chain and with probate already granted, this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies a generous plot within the popular waterside village of Mayland.
The property provides excellent potential for further improvement or extension, subject to the necessary planning consent.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into the hallway, which includes a useful storage cupboard and provides access to both the lounge and kitchen/diner.
The generously sized lounge is filled with natural light from dual-aspect windows and features an attractive fireplace.
Also enjoying a dual aspect, the bright kitchen/diner offers ample space for dining, a further storage cupboard and direct side access to the rear garden.
Both principal living areas connect to an inner hallway, from which there are doors to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted storage, together with a refitted shower room.
Externally, the bungalow is set well back from the road behind an in-and-out driveway, providing ample off-road parking.
To the rear is a particularly generous garden offering considerable scope for landscaping and outdoor entertaining, complemented by two single garages.
A rarely available opportunity to create a wonderful home in a desirable village setting.
