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.

** Virtual tour available ** **NO ONWARD CHAIN** A substantial bungalow situated within a highly sought-after CUL-DE-SAC location as well as boasting a DOUBLE GARAGE, large wrap-around garden and driveway with parking for multiple vehicles.
DESCRIPTION The property is entered via a covered porch into a large, central hallway that connects all the principal areas of the home.
There is a cloakroom and a large, fully fitted kitchen with a window out to the garden. The utility room, a further storage area, as well as a double garage can all be accessed from the kitchen.
There are two further reception rooms – a formal dining room and lounge.
The generous lounge is dual aspect, providing large windows for plenty of natural light, a patio door to the garden and a central fireplace.
The spacious dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, with the potential of combining the areas to achieve a larger, open-plan kitchen-dining space, subject to the usual consents.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged off the main hallway and offers impressive flexibility for a range of buyers.
The principal bedroom is a particular highlight as a spacious double room facing the garden with modern built-in wardrobes and a large en-suite with additional storage, creating a genuinely private and luxurious retreat.
Two further, well-proportioned double bedrooms offer excellent natural light with built-in wardrobes and storage, and there is a large family bathroom.
The fourth bedroom is a generous single, currently used as a study and well suited to home working or additional accommodation.
OUTSIDE The property benefits from a generous wrap-around garden that provides outdoor space on multiple sides of the home.
The rear section offers a wide lawn with established planting and a patio area directly outside the house, creating a private and versatile setting for outdoor dining or relaxation.
The side and front areas continue this sense of space, as shown in the aerial view, giving the plot an open and well-balanced feel.
At the front, the driveway provides comfortable off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, which offers secure storage, workshop potential or additional parking as required.
