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
A delightful two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow with a wonderful south-easterly facing garden within a peaceful cul-de-sac to the north of Canterbury.
Full of charm and individuality, the property offers versatile accommodation, together with generous off-road parking, a detached garage and a substantial timber workshop/storage shed.
There is also plenty of potential for a new owner to adapt or extend the property to suit their needs, subject to the necessary consents.
The property is arranged over two floors, with a bedroom on both the ground and first floor, providing a wonderfully versatile layout.
A generous conservatory has French doors opening directly onto the garden, providing a bright and inviting space for relaxing, dining and entertaining while enjoying views of the garden throughout the seasons.
Sliding doors from the conservatory lead into a bright and comfortable sitting room, which is neutrally decorated and finished with off-white laminate flooring.
To the rear is a separate reception room with a recently installed wood-burning stove.
This versatile space would work well as a study or snug or could be used as a third bedroom or occasional guest room.
Also positioned to the rear is the kitchen, which is perfectly functional as it stands while offering scope for modernisation and for a new owner to put their own stamp on the space.
From here, a door leads into a useful lean-to, providing additional storage.
The ground-floor double bedroom is a good size, with a large window framing a lovely outlook over the garden, as well as the benefit of built-in wardrobes.
A separate WC with a wash basin completes the ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, there is a spacious second double bedroom enjoying far-reaching views towards Canterbury.
During the winter months, the warm glow of Canterbury Cathedral can be seen in the distance, making for a particularly special outlook.
Generous cupboards provide useful eaves storage, while a loft hatch with a pull-down ladder gives access to a boarded loft, offering further storage space.
The bathroom is filled with natural light from a Velux window and features a p-shaped bath with shower over, a wash basin and further storage within the eaves.
A separate WC is conveniently positioned adjacent to the bathroom. Outside: Outside, there is a glorious garden, perfect for keen gardeners or those who enjoy spending time outside.
Enjoying a south-easterly aspect, it is predominantly laid to lawn and feels wonderfully established, with mature planting and beautiful fruit trees providing shady areas to enjoy on hot days.
There is plenty of space for outdoor seating and dining and there is a greenhouse and garden shed to the rear.
The property occupies a particularly generous corner plot, with a wide driveway providing ample off-road parking. There is also access to a detached garage.
There is also a substantial timber workshop, complete with electricity and lighting, making it ideal for anyone requiring a dedicated workshop, studio, hobby space or additional storage.
A wonderfully individual home with a great deal to offer, this charming bungalow combines flexible accommodation, an established garden and generous outside space with exciting potential for the future.
