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
Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this spacious three-bedroom chalet-style semi-detached bungalow, conveniently positioned within central Totton and offered with the significant advantage of no forward chain.
The property provides a flexible arrangement across two floors, with two ground-floor bedrooms, one benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, together with a further dormer-style double bedroom on the first floor.
The accommodation also includes an open-plan lounge/dining room, conservatory, kitchen, utility room and ground-floor bathroom.
While the property is perfectly usable in its current form, it would benefit from a programme of updating and modernisation, giving the incoming buyer an excellent opportunity to improve and personalise the home over time.
Ground Floor Accommodation The property is approached via a block-paved frontage providing off-road parking, with a low-level brick wall, lawned section and established shrubs adding some greenery.
A side pedestrian gate provides access to the rear garden.
The main entrance is currently through the side conservatory, which creates a useful additional reception or entrance space and benefits from double glazed windows to the side and rear, power, lighting and a radiator.
A door leads into the kitchen, which has previously been updated but would benefit from further improvement.
From here there is access into the rear utility room and ground-floor bathroom, while further doors open into the main living accommodation.
The lounge/dining room forms the central heart of the property and provides a generous open-plan living space.
The lounge area is positioned towards the front and benefits from a double glazed bay window, while fitted carpet runs throughout. Open stairs rise from this room to the first-floor bedroom.
Two ground-floor bedrooms are also accessed from the main living area.
Bedroom One is positioned at the front and benefits from a double glazed bay window together with built-in wardrobes, providing a good level of storage.
The second ground-floor bedroom is positioned to the side and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it particularly useful for guests, older family members or anyone seeking more flexible accommodation.
To the rear, the utility room houses the gas boiler and provides useful ancillary space, while the ground-floor bathroom completes the accommodation on this level.
First Floor Accommodation Open stairs rise to the first floor where there is a further double bedroom, creating a useful private space away from the remainder of the accommodation.
The room benefits from a double glazed dormer window to the rear, radiator and an open wardrobe recess providing practical storage.
This first-floor bedroom gives the property a flexible chalet-style arrangement and could work particularly well as a principal bedroom, guest room or home-working space.
Outside The rear garden is a particularly generous feature and offers plenty of scope for buyers who enjoy outdoor space. A paved patio sits close to the house, with a greenhouse positioned nearby.
Beyond this is a lawned garden with a pathway leading towards the rear.
The garden also includes an ornamental pond, a variety of mature shrubs and bushes, and a timber shed positioned towards the corner.
The overall size and established planting provide a pleasant foundation, while still offering scope for further landscaping and personalisation.
