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
Residing in a popular and well-established residential area, this detached bungalow presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a spacious home with excellent potential.
While the property would benefit from some modernisation, it offers generous accommodation throughout and is ideally located close to local amenities, reputable schools, and the bustling Merry Hill Shopping Centre—making it a convenient and well-connected place to live.
To the front of the property, a large driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles, offering both practicality and kerb appeal.
A welcoming porch leads into a central entrance hall, which serves as the main artery of the home, providing access to all principal rooms and creating a sense of flow and connectivity.
The lounge is situated at the front of the bungalow and benefits from a charming bay window that floods the room with natural light.
A fireplace forms a cosy focal point, making this an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining alike. Towards the rear of the property, the kitchen diner is both functional and sociable.
It features a range of fitted units and ample worktop space, along with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar for casual dining.
There is also plenty of room for a dining table and chairs, making it an ideal spot for family meals or hosting guests.
A door from the kitchen leads out to the rear garden, and a large walk-in storage cupboard—conveniently located off the dining area—houses the central heating boiler and provides excellent additional storage space.
The bungalow offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The primary bedroom is front-facing and enjoys another bay window that adds character and natural light.
The second bedroom, also a double, is set to the rear and overlooks the garden, offering a peaceful retreat.
A well-sized loft provides generous additional storage and the potential for further development, subject to planning.
The bathroom is fitted with a corner shower, a wash basin, and WC, neatly arranged to maximise space and functionality. To the rear, the garden is a standout feature of the property.
A paved patio area directly outside the kitchen provides the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
This leads on to a generous lawn, bordered by another patio space that houses a large summerhouse.
Complete with electricity, the summerhouse is an incredibly versatile addition—perfect for use as a garden bar, home office, or hobby room.
Further enhancing the appeal of this property is the two-bedroom lodge located at the far end of the garden.
Accessed via a private entrance hall, the lodge offers an open-plan living area with a kitchenette, as well as two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
Whether used for multigenerational living or guest accommodation this self-contained lodge/studio adds exceptional flexibility and value to the home.
Overall, this detached bungalow offers a rare combination of space, location, and potential.
With thoughtful updating and personalisation, it could become a superb forever home with the added benefit of separate accommodation and expansive outdoor space.
