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
Positioned at the head of a highly sought-after private cul-de-sac, this deceptively spacious detached dormer bungalow offers far more than first impressions might suggest.
Set within generous gardens and grounds in one of the most desirable residential areas of the picturesque market town of Kirkby Lonsdale, the property combines flexible accommodation, thoughtful design and a wonderfully practical layout – all wrapped up in a location that rarely disappoints.
Despite its peaceful and tucked-away setting, the property is exceptionally well placed for everyday life.
Kirkby Lonsdale’s thriving town centre is close at hand, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, public houses and restaurants, alongside essential amenities including a doctors’ surgery, Boots the chemist, Booths supermarket, a library, bank and highly regarded schools.
For those needing to venture further afield, there are excellent bus routes and convenient road links providing easy access to the M6 and surrounding areas – making this an ideal base for both work and leisure.
The accommodation is well presented throughout and thoughtfully arranged to suit a variety of lifestyles.
The welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, offering not only a sense of arrival but also a useful study area – ideal for home working, quiet reading or simply keeping life organised.
The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a multi-fuel stove that provides both character and comfort, perfect for relaxed evenings in.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive breakfast kitchen, fitted with an excellent range of bespoke base and wall units, granite worktops and a Belfast sink.
A dual fuel range cooker sits proudly within a feature alcove, while the breakfast bar provides a natural gathering point for family and friends.
The inclusion of a pantry adds both charm and practicality, ensuring this is a kitchen that caters as well to serious cooks as it does to sociable hosting.
A separate dining room offers a more formal setting for entertaining, while the adjacent utility room keeps everyday tasks neatly out of sight.
The ground floor also benefits from two generous double bedrooms and a stylish shower room, offering excellent flexibility for single-level living if required, or comfortable accommodation for guests.
To the first floor, the sense of space continues. Two further bedrooms are complemented by a bathroom and extensive eaves storage.
One of these bedrooms has been cleverly repurposed as a bespoke dressing room, fitted with high-quality furniture that transforms the upper floor into a highly desirable arrangement.
Together with the adjacent bedroom and bathroom, this creates an excellent upstairs suite – offering bedroom, dressing room and bathroom all within easy reach.
For those who may prefer additional sleeping accommodation, the fitted furniture can be removed, allowing the space to revert seamlessly back to a conventional bedroom.
It is this adaptability that makes the property so appealing, capable of evolving alongside its owners rather than dictating how it should be used.
Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing throughout, ensuring comfort and efficiency year-round. Externally, the property continues to impress.
To the front, there is attractive, low-maintenance garden space, while driveway parking leads to the garage and double timber gates.
Beyond the gates lies further off-road parking and additional outdoor space, complete with a water supply – ideal for hobbies, storage or visiting family and friends.
Steps lead up to an elevated rear garden, where a generous lawn is complemented by a decked seating area, perfectly positioned for barbecues, entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet evening as the sun goes down.
A timber garden shed completes the outdoor offering.
