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
Offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain, this well presented bungalow is set back from the road, with a bloc-paved driveway which can accommodate several cars.
Internally, the layout features a bright open-plan reception space with plenty of natural light and views of the garden, and this leads into the contemporary kitchen towards the front of the house, well designed to provide plenty storage and space for appliances.
There are two double bedrooms, the largest of which has an en-suite WC and there is a separate bathroom accessed from the hall.
Outside, the south-facing garden is well stocked with mature shrubs and hedging providing an excellent level of privacy, and there is a paved seating area in which to enjoy the sun.
The garage to the side of the property is unexpectedly large and while currently used for storage, could offer exciting potential for conversion subject to the usual consents.
West Avenue is located in the popular area of Chiswell Green to the south of St Albans.
Local amenities including shops, a doctors surgery and well regarded schools are close by, and the city centre is easily accessible.
