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 superb individually designed detached bungalow on a large plot in sought after Kelbrook, enjoying lovely rural views.
Spacious living includes a stunning lounge, impressive dining kitchen, conservatory, three double bedrooms and quality bathroom.
Extensive gardens, two garages, parking and former planning for an additional bungalow make this a rare opportunity.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a superior, individually designed, detached bungalow, which set on an unusually large plot and includes a sizeable area of garden to one side of the dwelling, on which Planning Permission was previously granted in 2012 for the erection of another bungalow, with a detached single garage.
Although this has now lapsed, it is more than likely that a new application for planning would be granted.
Situated in a particularly desirable position in the highly sought after village of Kelbrook, with wonderful rural views from the front, this exceptional dwelling provides spacious accommodation and should appeal to a wide range of prospective buyers.
This extraordinary abode boasts numerous noteworthy and advantageous attributes and early viewing is very strongly recommended and also essential to appreciate all it has to offer.
Complemented by pvc double glazing, gas central heating and having the benefit of solar roof panels, the accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway and a stunning, very generously proportioned lounge, which enjoys the lovely open aspect/views, features a carved stone fireplace, fitted with a multi-fuel stove and has double French doors opening out to the rear garden.
The superb living/dining kitchen is an especially enticing asset of this wonderful bungalow and a really great family room, allowing ample space for a good-sized dining table and fitted with cream units, solid wood worktops and includes a Range style cooker.
Double French doors in the living/dining area of the kitchen give access into a delightful conservatory, which also has a multi-fuel stove, and there is a w.c., a utility room and a side entrance porch.
All three bedrooms are decent sized doubles and benefit from the gorgeous rural views, with the largest having built-in wardrobes.
The fully tiled bathroom is stylishly furbished and fitted with a quality four-piece white suite, including a double ended bath and a larger than average shower cubicle.
The former huge loft area has been converted by the owners to create additional rooms on the first floor – accessed via an open staircase from the main hall – but it must be noted by prospective buyers that this alteration and improvement work has been carried out without the requisite Planning Permission and Building Regulation Approval.
Externally, there are two garages, one is smaller than average and perfect for storing motorbikes and bicycles and the other has a workshop behind.
There is off road parking space in front of the garages and gardens to the front and rear, the rear being mainly decked with pebble covered areas.
