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
Located on the main road towards Port of Ness Harbour, we are delighted to bring to the market this detached three-bedroom property, offering an abundance of versatile accommodation and the flexibility to adapt the layout to suit individual requirements.
The property is accessed from the front into a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a bright and airy lounge.
A further hallway, currently offering potential for use as a sunroom or study, leads into the inner hallway, from which bedroom one and the dining room are accessed.
The dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining and also offers the potential to extend the existing kitchen area, subject to any necessary consents.
The current owners have stripped out the kitchen, leaving the sink and work surface in place, providing a blank canvas for a new owner to create a kitchen to their own taste and requirements.
Off the kitchen is a useful side entrance/utility area, featuring a fitted work surface and a door providing access to the side of the property.
The shower room is located on the half-landing, providing convenient access to the upper level, where a further two generously sized double bedrooms can be found.
Both bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, along with additional storage space.
Heating is provided by an oil-fired central heating system, with the addition of a multi-fuel-burning stove in the lounge, offering a cosy supplementary heat source.
All windows and external doors are double glazed.
Externally, the property benefits from a good sized rear garden which is laid on a slope but provides a generous outdoor space, including a drying area.
There are additional smaller areas of lawn to the front and side of the property, while a generous garden shed provides useful external storage.
A lock-block parking area to the front of the house provides space for two vehicles.
Lionel offers excellent access to a wide range of local amenities, including village shops, a museum and café, launderette, charity shop, sports centre with swimming pool and bowling alley, primary schools, doctor's surgery and Post Office.
The popular Breakwater Café at Port of Ness Harbour is also close by.
Eoropie Beach and the nearby playpark are both a short drive away, making this an appealing location for families and those looking to enjoy the surrounding coastline and outdoor spaces.
The town of Stornoway is approximately 26 miles away and provides a comprehensive range of retail, leisure and professional services.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the versatile accommodation, excellent potential and attractive location this charming detached home has to offer.
