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
Situated within the sought-after Forest Edge development in Sandford, this beautifully presented three bedroom home offers approximately 1,313 sq ft of spacious and versatile accommodation, excluding the garage.
Particular highlights include a superb modern kitchen/dining room, conservatory, en-suite principal bedroom and, perhaps most notably, an impressively generous garden which extends around the rear and side of the property.
The property is also offered for sale with the significant advantage of no forward chain.
Entering into a spacious hallway, the ground floor immediately gives a good sense of the space on offer, with useful under-stairs storage and a cloakroom/WC.
The separate living room is a comfortable and well-proportioned reception space, leading through to the impressive 20'3" kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen is a real feature of the home, fitted with contemporary high-gloss cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar, together with a range of integrated appliances including an oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
There is ample room for a dining table and chairs, while French doors open directly onto the garden.
The kitchen/dining room also connects with the generous 15'6" conservatory, providing a versatile additional reception space overlooking the garden.
With two sets of doors opening outside, this creates an excellent flow between the house and garden and makes the accommodation particularly well suited to entertaining.
Outside is where this property really comes into its own. The large garden extends across the rear and continues around the side of the house, creating a surprisingly generous outside space.
Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, the garden features mature planting together with a raised decked seating area, patio and BBQ area, providing plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family life.
Given the size and configuration of the plot, there may also be potential to extend the existing property, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, building regulations and any other required consents.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own modern en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is also a good-sized double and benefits from fitted wardrobe storage.
Bedroom three provides further useful built-in storage, with all three bedrooms served by the family bathroom.
Further practical benefits include a driveway and garage, with the garage having power and lighting, plumbing/space for laundry appliances and a useful rear door providing direct access into the garden.
Sandford is a particularly popular and well-established residential area, ideally positioned for those wanting to enjoy the best of the Dorset lifestyle.
The location offers a great balance between a more relaxed setting and convenient access to the surrounding towns, countryside and coast, making it especially appealing to families, commuters and those relocating to the area.
The nearby market town of Wareham provides a good range of everyday amenities, shops, schools and transport connections, while the beautiful Isle of Purbeck and Dorset's renowned coastline are also within easy reach.
With its combination of convenience, access to the outdoors and excellent surrounding countryside, Sandford remains a highly desirable place to call home.
Combining this sought-after location with generous internal accommodation, an unusually good-sized garden and plot, garage and driveway, this is a superb family home that really deserves to be viewed.
Offered with the further advantage of NO FORWARD CHAIN, early viewing is highly recommended.
