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
Tucked away along a peaceful private lane leading to the prestigious Kirkland Hall in the heart of Churchtown, this detached true bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home full of charm, character and limitless potential.
Sitting within approximately one acre of mature gardens and private woodland, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion and tranquillity while remaining just moments from the amenities of the village.
A set of gateposts open onto a sweeping driveway with a turning circle that leads up to the property, providing ample parking along with a detached garage.
From the moment you arrive, it is clear this home has been much loved and beautifully maintained by the current owners for over three decades.
The landscaped grounds are a real highlight, with sweeping lawns, fruit trees, flowering shrubs and meandering woodland pathways that provide a serene and picturesque setting throughout the seasons.
The bungalow is entered via a welcoming porch leading into a spacious hallway that connects all the main rooms.
To one side lie the bedrooms, while the opposite side of the home is dedicated to the living areas, offering a natural and practical flow.
The accommodation includes three to four bedrooms and a home office, with one of the bedrooms currently used as a second sitting room and bar.
The living room, kitchen, snug, utility and bar area are all well proportioned and filled with natural light, and as a true bungalow, the layout offers superb flexibility for reconfiguration or extension, subject to the necessary permissions.
This allows the next owner to tailor the space to suit their lifestyle and vision.
Every window frames views of the surrounding gardens, and additional features such as a cold store and guest WC add to the home’s practicality.
The gardens themselves are a true sanctuary, combining open lawned spaces with shaded woodland, well-established planting and secluded corners that invite you to relax and enjoy the peace of this idyllic setting.
Whether enjoyed as a tranquil retreat or thoughtfully developed into a more contemporary home, the potential here is truly exceptional. The location enhances the appeal even further.
