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
Welcome to a stunning three-bedroom detached chalet-style bungalow which has undergone significant upgrades in November 2023 to ensure a walk-in ready home that offers space and style in equal measures.
The extensive work includes new double glazing to the front, new interior doors, full-house rewiring with fresh switches, fuse boxes, and sockets, interlinked fire and heat alarm systems, and a new stone fireplace, ESSE Eco log burner, Amtico flooring, and gas mains installation with an all-new central heating system, pipes, and radiators throughout.
Stylish interior design was applied during the same period, along with new skirtings, cornices, and flooring, as well as a bespoke statement kitchen.
Add private parking for four cars, impressive gardens, and a sought-after location in the coastal town of Arbroath, and you have a high-spec home that goes above and beyond expectations.
Inside, a vestibule and hall both provide storage and a strong first impression.
On the left, the spacious living room reinforces the initial promise, featuring sumptuous earthy tones and plush carpeting.
A bay window captures a cascade of natural light, while a Chesney Limestone feature fireplace forms an elegant focal point, complete with an ESSE Eco wood-burning stove (both newly fitted in 2023).
Meanwhile, the kitchen/dining room is the sociable heart of the home. This expansive space has a state-of-the-art design, enjoying a striking colour palette and Amtico flooring.
It is equipped with soft-close, handle-less cabinetry and wood-effect worktops with seamlessly matching splashbacks.
High-end integrated appliances (also new in 2023) cement the ultra-modern look, along with a boiling water tap and smart (voice activated) under-unit lighting.
French doors to the garden add the finishing touch. Maintaining the impeccable standards, the three bedrooms are all large, light-filled doubles.
The principal room and bay-windowed third bedroom (which has the versatility to be used as a family room) are both at ground level, while the second bedroom is on the first floor with a generous attic store.
The home is served by a contemporary ground-floor shower room (with a double walk-in shower cubicle) and an exquisite first-floor wet room new in 2023.
The property has double glazing and gas central heating via a Bosch-Worcester combi boiler (also new in 2023).
Externally, there is substantial garden space to the front, side, and southeast-facing rear, all of which is fully enclosed and professionally landscaped incorporating manicured lawns and mature plants.
Established apple, pear, and plum fruit trees add to its charm, as large patio areas (with power and water) form perfect alfresco dining spots.
A gated three-car driveway and detached single garage (with power) provide secure off-street parking.
Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances (Neff pyrolytic self-cleaning main oven with Wi-Fi connectivity, Neff oven/grill/combi microwave oven, Neff five-ring induction hob, Faber smart extractor fan, Zanussi full-length frost-free refrigerator, Zanussi full-length freezer, Zanussi dishwasher, and Hoover washing machine), and two sheds to be included in the sale.
