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
Description Lismore is an attractive detached bungalow that offers a particularly versatile layout, making it an excellent choice for families seeking a peaceful countryside setting without compromising on everyday convenience.
The accommodation provides three double bedrooms, two reception spaces, a sun lounge, modern kitchen, family bathroom and additional WC.
The property is approached via a double-door entrance, opening into a bright and airy hallway that immediately gives a sense of the generous proportions throughout the home.
From here, the principal living accommodation unfolds naturally.
The spacious lounge is a warm and inviting room, centred around a functioning log-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point for relaxing with family and friends.
This leads directly through to the charming sun lounge, which provides a lovely additional sitting area overlooking the garden.
With its outlook onto the enclosed grounds, it is an ideal spot to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons and provides a peaceful space to relax and unwind.
Also accessed from the main living areas is a useful additional reception room, currently utilised as a family room/snug.
Its position directly off the kitchen makes it exceptionally versatile and it could equally lend itself to a formal dining room, playroom, home office or additional breakout space for older children.
The sleek, modern kitchen is bright and practical, with a large window overlooking the garden allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
The layout provides a pleasant space for everyday cooking while retaining a connection with the outdoor areas.
There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, providing excellent accommodation for a larger family.
The bedrooms benefit from built-in storage, helping to keep the living spaces organised while providing useful additional storage capacity.
The Master bedroom is particularly generous, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests or home-working requirements.
A family bathroom and separate WC complete the internal accommodation, providing practical facilities for busy family life.
Outside, the property enjoys a lovely, well-kept enclosed garden, offering a good degree of privacy and a range of patio areas that lend themselves perfectly to creating different seating and entertaining zones.
The garden provides an attractive extension of the home's living space and a safe, private environment for children and pets.
Lismore enjoys a peaceful setting in Boquhan, while being conveniently positioned for the amenities and community of Balfron.
Balfron is an established village within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs area, with a range of everyday amenities including local shops, cafés, restaurants, a health centre, pharmacy and library, alongside primary and secondary schooling.
The surrounding area is particularly appealing for those who enjoy the outdoors, with the countryside, woodland and lochs of the wider Trossachs and Loch Lomond area providing extensive opportunities for walking, cycling and recreation.
Balfron also has the benefit of Donaldson Park, with children's play facilities, seating and nearby shops and cafés. There are good public transport connections serving the surrounding communities.
Current local services include connections between Balfron, Drymen, Fintry and Kippen, while services also connect towards Stirling and the wider area.
There are dedicated bus services serving Balfron High School from Boquhan and surrounding villages.
For commuters, the location provides access towards both Stirling and Glasgow, while the surrounding villages of Drymen, Killearn and Buchlyvie provide further amenities and connections.
The wider area also benefits from its proximity to the scenic attractions and outdoor pursuits of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs region.
Lismore offers a rare combination of space, flexibility and a peaceful rural setting, with the convenience of Balfron's amenities close by.
The generous lounge with log burner, adjoining sun lounge, flexible family/dining room, modern kitchen and three double bedrooms make this a particularly adaptable home for growing families, while the enclosed private garden provides an excellent outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.
