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
Where is Westbourne Place? Westbourne Place is one of those quiet Fairfield cul-de-sacs people often hope to find but rarely come across.
Tucked away from passing traffic and made up largely of similar-style bungalows, it has a settled, residential feel that will appeal to downsizers, retired buyers and those looking for single-storey living close to the city.
Lancaster city centre and the railway station are both within walking distance, making everyday life practical, while Fairfield Nature Reserve is just moments away for morning walks, fresh air and a proper sense of open space.
It is a location that offers peace without feeling cut off, with local shops, bus routes and the wider amenities of Lancaster all within easy reach.
The Overview This extended two-bedroom semi-detached true bungalow offers the kind of setting, plot and outlook that are becoming increasingly hard to find in Fairfield.
Clean, tidy and clearly well cared for, the home is perfectly liveable as it stands, while also offering scope for a new owner to update and personalise it over time.
For buyers who want a bungalow with good bones, a generous garden and the chance to make it their own, this is a home with real appeal.
Set back behind a well-kept front garden, the property has a long private driveway leading to a detached garage, with ample space for several vehicles, including a caravan or motorhome.
A side entrance porch opens into an L-shaped hallway, giving access to all rooms and creating an easy, practical layout.
To the front, the spacious lounge enjoys a large picture window overlooking the front garden, bringing in plenty of natural light and creating a calm place to sit and unwind.
The décor is neutral, giving buyers a simple starting point for their own ideas. To the rear, the extended kitchen diner is a key part of the home’s appeal.
Fitted with pale blue-green units and arranged with a breakfast bar between the cooking and dining areas, it offers a sociable space for everyday meals, morning coffee and time spent with family.
Sliding patio doors open directly from the dining area onto the rear garden, making the outside space feel part of daily life, especially in the warmer months.
There is one double bedroom overlooking the rear garden and a well-sized second bedroom facing the front garden, along with a three-piece bathroom fitted in white.
The layout works well for those needing one-level living, while the boarded loft provides useful storage and benefits from additional insulation.
The west-facing rear garden is where the lifestyle really comes into focus.
Enclosed, generous and enjoying attractive open views, it is a space for pottering, sitting out in the afternoon and evening sun, growing plants, entertaining family, or simply enjoying the outlook.
With its peaceful cul-de-sac setting, practical parking and scope to update, this is a bungalow that offers comfort now and potential for the future.
