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
2 Ford Road, Newton Mearns This deceptively spacious detached bungalow offers flexible family accommodation formed over one and a half levels, with a versatile layout that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
While the property would benefit from a degree of internal modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity to upgrade and personalise a substantial home within a highly sought-after Newton Mearns address.
The ground floor accommodation is entered via a welcoming entrance vestibule leading into a central hallway giving access to the principal apartments.
To the front, there is a generously proportioned bay-windowed lounge with feature fireplace, and a separate family room, also with fireplace, offering additional living space ideal for everyday family use or entertaining.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear and connects directly to a dining room, creating a practical layout with scope for reconfiguration into a contemporary open-plan space if desired.
The property further benefits from an integrated garage, accessed from the side of the house.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms on the ground floor, including a substantial double bedroom and a further study/Bedroom 4 with built-in storage.
A ground floor shower room completes the downstairs accommodation. A staircase from the hallway leads to the upper level, where there are two further bedrooms.
The principal bedroom benefits from extensive wardrobe and eaves storage, while the second bedroom is also a good size with fitted wardrobes.
A second shower room serves this level, along with additional eaves storage.
Externally, the property enjoys a generous plot, offering further potential for landscaping or extension (subject to planning), with the integrated garage providing convenient off-street parking and additional storage.
