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
A rarely available two-bedroom bungalow combining generous accommodation, a superb conservatory, versatile converted attic space and an exceptionally large, mature rear garden and all within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre and Portobello.
The property is an appealing and surprisingly spacious bungalow offering a wonderful combination of single-level living, additional flexible space and an outstanding garden that really sets this home apart.
The accommodation is well proportioned throughout.
At the front of the property is a generous living room, providing an inviting space in which to relax, while two comfortable double bedrooms offer flexibility for couples, downsizers, smaller families or those requiring a dedicated home office.
To the rear, the well-proportioned kitchen leads through double doors into a particularly attractive conservatory.
Measuring approximately 3.28m x 3.65m, this creates an excellent additional reception space and a natural extension of the kitchen, ideal for dining, entertaining or simply sitting and enjoying the outlook over the garden.
From the conservatory, doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the house and its outdoor space and making this an especially enjoyable part of the home during the warmer months.
An exceptional garden The very large, long rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features and offers an amount of private outdoor space that is increasingly difficult to find within Edinburgh.
Its generous proportions provide enormous scope for keen gardeners and families alike, with plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining, lawns, planting, children's play areas and growing your own fruit and vegetables.
Already enhancing the garden is a greenhouse, together with a very large shed, providing excellent storage and useful space for gardening equipment, bicycles, tools and outdoor furniture.
Back inside, the property also benefits from a converted and floored attic accessed via a Ramsay ladder in the hall.
This provides extremely useful additional space beyond the main two-bedroom accommodation.
This versatile area offers a host of possibilities depending on individual requirements, whether as a home office, hobby room, creative space, occasional guest area or additional storage.
This could be officially converted with the correct planning and permissions. A bathroom and welcoming hallway complete the principal ground-floor accommodation.
Craigentinny is ideally positioned for buyers looking to combine city convenience with easy access to the coast.
Edinburgh city centre, Portobello and the surrounding green spaces are all readily accessible, with local shops, amenities and transport connections close at hand.
What makes this property particularly appealing is the combination of features in an all in one property, a bungalow with two good-sized bedrooms, generous living accommodation, a conservatory opening directly onto an exceptionally large garden and the bonus of converted attic space above.
For anyone searching for a home with space to enjoy both inside and out, this is a property that really needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated
