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
Detached Two-Bedroom Home | Driveway Parking | Enclosed Garden | No Onward Chain A two-bedroom detached home situated in the heart of popular Whiddon Valley.
A former rental property now offering an excellent opportunity for modernisation and updating, with light and well-proportioned accommodation, driveway parking for two vehicles and an enclosed rear garden.
Offered to the market with no onward sales chain.
Situated in the heart of the popular and well-established residential area of Whiddon Valley, this two-bedroom detached home represents an excellent opportunity for purchasers looking for a property they can modernise and improve to their own taste.
Having previously been utilised as a rental property, the home is now offered to the market with no onward sales chain, making it an appealing proposition for first-time buyers, investors or those seeking a manageable home in a convenient location.
The property would benefit from a programme of general updating and modernisation throughout; however, it offers well-proportioned accommodation, excellent potential and the added advantages of private driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden.
Upon entering, the accommodation leads into a spacious and naturally light living room, providing plenty of room for comfortable seating and everyday living.
A useful understairs storage cupboard provides practical additional storage, while stairs rise to the first-floor accommodation.
The kitchen is positioned to enjoy a dual aspect, allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
Although now in need of updating, there is good scope to redesign the space and create a contemporary kitchen to suit the new owner's requirements.
A door provides direct access to the rear garden, making the layout particularly convenient for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, including a generous principal double bedroom which enjoys glimpses towards the surrounding countryside in the distance and benefits from useful built-in storage.
The second bedroom provides a versatile space which could equally lend itself to use as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.
Completing the accommodation is a bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite. Outside, the property continues to offer plenty of potential.
To the front is a private driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, together with steps leading to the entrance.
To the rear is a fully enclosed garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with a small patio area.
While the garden would benefit from some landscaping and attention, it provides a blank canvas for a purchaser to create an attractive and enjoyable outside space.
Whiddon Valley remains a popular residential location, offering convenient access to a variety of everyday amenities, schooling and transport connections, while Barnstaple town centre is also within easy reach.
With its detached position, two-bedroom accommodation, driveway parking, enclosed garden and scope for modernisation, this is an exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to put their own stamp on a home.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, an internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the potential on offer.
