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 within the sought-after village of Rufforth, positioned to the west of York, is this substantial and deceptively spacious detached bungalow occupying a peaceful cul-de-sac setting on the edge of the village.
Surrounded by attractive countryside whilst still offering excellent access into York city centre, Rufforth continues to be a popular choice for a range of buyers thanks to its strong community feel, local amenities and convenient transport connections.
Set on a generous plot, the property offers ample off-street parking leading to a double garage, alongside a larger than average and beautifully established rear garden enjoying open aspects beyond, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and space.
Internally, the accommodation is both versatile and well proportioned throughout.
The property benefits from three generous double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and a modern en-suite shower room with a large walk-in shower area.
To the rear of the home, the property has been extended to create a substantial conservatory/garden room which overlooks the garden and provides an additional reception space ideal for relaxing or entertaining throughout the year.
Offering spacious accommodation in a quiet village setting with fantastic outdoor space, this much-loved home is sure to appeal to a variety of buyers.
Properties in locations such as this rarely remain on the market for long, therefore early viewing is highly recommended.
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance - We are legally required to conduct Anti Money Laundering checks on all purchasers, sellers, and giftors.
These checks become mandatory when a seller accepts a purchaser's offer on a property. Anti-Money Laundering checks are valid for 6 months from the date they are completed.
If your purchase does not proceed and you make an offer on another property more than 6 months later, or if your checks are more than 6 months old when making a new offer, you will need to complete and pay for new checks.
We use a partner supplier MoveButler, to carry out these checks on our behalf.
They will contact you directly once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract) to complete the electronic verification process securely.
There is a non-refundable charge of £30 + VAT per purchaser and per giftor for these checks..
This fee must be paid before we can issue a memorandum of sale to solicitors and is non-refundable under any circumstances.
Ashtons receive a portion of this fee from MoveButler as compensation for facilitating these checks and our administrative role in the compliance process.
