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
Three bedroom detached bungalow just moments from Lake Meadows Park and within walking distance of the Queens Park shops.
Offering a modern kitchen, bathroom and shower room, spacious lounge, dining area, west-facing garden, detached double length garage and parking for three vehicles.
Situated just a stone's throw from the beautiful Lake Meadows Park, 15 minutes walk from the train station and within easy walking distance of the Queens Park shopping parade, including Aldi, a doctor's surgery, dentist, veterinary practice and other everyday amenities, this well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies an excellent plot, enjoying a west-facing rear garden extending to over 80ft.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, with two generous double bedrooms positioned to the front of the home, alongside a separate shower room.
The hallway continues through to a third bedroom, ideal as a guest room or study, together with a family bathroom and two useful storage cupboards.
To the rear of the property, the modern fitted kitchen offers an excellent range of base and eye-level units with ample worktop space and a door providing access to the side of the property.
The adjoining dining room benefits from further built-in storage and flows seamlessly into the spacious living room, creating an excellent entertaining space whilst enjoying views across the rear garden.
French doors open directly onto the patio, allowing the living accommodation to extend outdoors during the warmer months.
Externally, the property provides driveway parking for up to three vehicles, a detached garage with both an up-and-over door and side access, and a beautifully maintained west-facing rear garden measuring in excess of 80ft, offering plenty of space for keen gardeners, entertaining or simply relaxing in the afternoon and evening sun.
Combining well-proportioned accommodation, excellent storage throughout and a highly convenient location close to local amenities and Lake Meadows Park, this attractive detached bungalow is perfectly suited to those looking to downsize without compromising on space, outside space or convenience.
