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
Enjoying a prime position in the highly sought-after and peaceful Gatehill Estate, this detached two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity in an exceptional location.
The property has been well maintained and offers excellent potential to personalise and extend (subject to the usual planning permissions).
Ideal for discerning downsizers, it also presents an exciting opportunity to create a larger home in one of Northwood’s most desirable settings.
Description - As you enter the property, you are welcomed into a central hallway that provides access to all the main rooms of the home.
To your left, you’ll find a spacious kitchen and breakfast room with dual access — one from the hall and another leading directly into the open-plan living and dining room.
This generous living/dining space sits at the rear of the property and features large windows and double doors that open to the outside, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Back in the hallway, straight ahead is the principal bedroom — a well-proportioned space featuring fitted wardrobes and the added benefit of an en-suite.
Adjacent to it is the family bathroom, complete with a bathtub, separate shower, basin, and WC.
The second bedroom is also accessed from the hall and is ideal for guests, children, or use as a home office.
Completing the layout is the attached garage/store, which can be accessed directly from the hallway and offers practical storage or utility space.
The overall flow of the home is seamless and thoughtfully arranged, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Outside - This property sits on a generous plot, offering substantial space to both the front and rear.
Accessed via a private, long driveway off Woodside Road, the bungalow benefits from a large, secluded front driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles.
To the rear, you'll find an extensive patio area leading to a beautifully spacious garden — ideal for summer entertaining and offering excellent potential for extension (subject to planning permission).
Location - Located on the sought-after Gatehill Estate, this property enjoys close proximity to Northwood’s excellent range of shops, restaurants, and amenities, including a Waitrose supermarket.
The area is known for its strong community feel and offers a wide selection of both state and private schools, making it ideal for families.
Transport links are superb, with the Metropolitan Line station providing direct access to Baker Street and the City, and the M1, M40, and M25 motorways all within easy reach.
