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
Light and spacious, this two-bedroom detached family home benefits from private gardens, a driveway and a garage, positioned on a quiet side street.
Set within a residential area of Cumrock, approximately 40 miles south of Glasgow, the property offers an excellent opportunity for a range of buyers and a superb refurbishment opportunity.
A welcoming entrance hall provides access to the staircase leading to the upper floor and flows into the front-facing living room, an exceptionally generous reception space featuring a fireplace and a large built-in storage cupboard.
To the rear, the separate dining room offers a versatile second reception space, ideal for formal dining, home working or additional sitting room use.
The kitchen is also located to the rear, enjoying a south-west facing aspect that floods the space with natural light. It provides access to a sun room, which opens directly onto the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops incorporating a sink and drainer, and includes an oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer and washing machine, while a useful under-stairs cupboard provides additional storage.
On the upper floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant aspect and benefiting from built-in wardrobes along with additional eaves storage.
The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom with a side-facing window, fitted with a three-piece suite including a shower over the bath.
Cumnock, with roots stretching far back in history, is today largely Victorian in character.
The property lies approximately a mile from the town centre, where a range of cafés, restaurants, shops, and essential services can be found.
Education is well provided for, with several primary schools and secondary schooling available at The Robert Burns Academy.
Local bus services serve the town, and its position at the junction of the A76 and A70 allows for easy travel to Dumfries and access to the wider motorway network.
Nearby railway stations in Auchinleck offer convenient links to Kilmarnock and onward to Glasgow, while Ayr and the coast are also within a short drive. Council Tax Band: D Tenure: Freehold
