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
Discover Bellmont, a charming four-bedroom detached bungalow nestled in the heart of Dumfries, offering a blend of countryside living with convenient access to Dumfries amenities.
Entering through the front porch, you’re welcomed into a practical entrance area that also provides access to the first of two loft spaces.
This loft is fully insulated and floored, offering excellent additional storage.
The home has benefited from a series of major upgrades over the years, including a new roof in 2012, new central heating installed in 2014, updated electrics in 2016, and smoke alarms fitted in 2016.
A woodworm warranty is also in place for added reassurance. The lounge is a warm and inviting space, centred around a multi‐fuel log burner installed in 2021, creating a cosy focal point.
A new multi‐fuel store was also added in 2021.
The kitchen is well arranged with a selection of wall and base units, a gas hob, electric oven, extractor fan, one‐and‐a‐half sink, and generous space for appliances.
The property previously had planning permission granted for a new kitchen layout, offering potential for future reconfiguration if desired.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room retains its original Belfast sink along with useful storage units. The property benefits from both a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
The family bathroom includes a bath, WC, sink, towel rail and tiled splashback. The shower room features an enclosed shower cubicle, sink and WC. The home offers four bedrooms in total.
The main bedroom provides a comfortable and peaceful retreat. Bedrooms two and four offer flexible accommodation, ideal for children, guests, or home‐working.
Bedroom three houses the boiler and hot water tank and provides access to the second loft area, which is partially floored and ideal for additional storage.
Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn with a pathway leading to an elevated seating area and the front door. An established orchard sits to the side, featuring pear, plum and apple trees.
To the rear, the multi‐level garden areas offer a variety of outdoor spaces to enjoy. A large driveway provides ample parking and leads to the garage.
The septic tank is located within the neighbouring garden.
