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
Hamwic Independent Estate Agents are pleased to offer for sale this two-bedroom detached bungalow, situated in a central Totton location on Water Lane.
Please note: this property is of non-standard construction (circa 1930’s) and is therefore unmortgageable, meaning it is most likely to appeal to cash buyers.
The bungalow offers surprisingly well-proportioned accommodation, complemented by a modern kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating, double glazing, and useful additional storage areas.
The frontage is enclosed by a timber fence, with hardstanding providing off-road parking to the front and side.
The main entrance is located at the side, opening into a hallway with a refitted fuse box, carpeted flooring, and doors leading to the principal rooms.
Both bedrooms are well-sized, featuring fitted carpets, radiators, and double glazed windows.
The living room is a comfortable space with a fitted carpet, two windows to dual aspects, a fireplace surround, and access through to the bathroom, kitchen, and a side lobby which leads into the enclosed lean-to.
The kitchen has been modernised and is fitted with ample work surfaces, sink unit, extractor hood, and space for appliances including a washing machine and cooker.
A door leads through to a particularly useful utility/storage area with power and lighting, ideal for additional white goods or general storage, with windows to multiple aspects and a personal door to the front.
The bathroom is a modern suite comprising an enclosed bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail, tiled flooring, and part tiled walls.
An obscure window faces the rear, and a cupboard houses the gas combination boiler.
Outside, the bungalow benefits from an enclosed lean-to constructed of mixed timber and polycarbonate, with doors to the front and rear, plus access to a further storage shed.
To the rear is additional hardstanding and double metal gates opening to a driveway area, all enclosed by timber fencing.
Location - Water Lane is conveniently positioned within central Totton, offering easy access to local shops, transport links, and everyday amenities.
Totton provides excellent connectivity to Southampton, the M27 motorway network, and the nearby New Forest National Park.
