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
Park View Cottage, Furlong Close, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire SL8 5UZ Offers Over £575,000 Freehold Chain-Free EPC D (65) Council Tax Band E Imagine stepping through your own private gate straight onto acres of protected parkland – no roads to cross, just open green space for dog walks, children’s play or evening sunsets.
Very few homes in Bourne End offer this unique privilege, and even fewer at this exceptional price.
Built in 2006 to an individual design, this modern detached chalet bungalow (973 sq ft) combines contemporary open-plan living with the rare benefit of gas-fired underfloor heating throughout, served by an energy-efficient air-source heat pump.
Presented in immaculate order and offered with no onward chain.
At a Glance – Why This Home Stands Out - Direct gated access from the garden onto protected parkland - Sunny south-west facing garden with all-day sun and park views - Full-width bi-fold doors from the open-plan living space - Three genuine double bedrooms (master with luxury en-suite) - Ground-floor bedroom & cloakroom – ideal for downsizers or guests - Detached garage + parking for 4 cars - Quiet cul-de-sac just 0.6 mile (12-minute walk) to Bourne End station - Chain-free & ready to move into Accommodation (all measurements approximate) Ground Floor - Entrance hall with solid oak staircase - Cloakroom/WC - Bedroom 3 / Home office – 11′2 × 9′10 (3.40m × 3.00m) – front aspect - Magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining/living room – 25′1 × 18′1 narrowing to 13′9 (7.65m × 5.50m) Triple aspect, full-width bi-fold doors to terrace, gloss-white units, solid oak worktops, integrated appliances and breakfast peninsula First Floor - Galleried landing with Velux window - Master bedroom – 15′4 × 12′4 (4.67m × 3.76m) – dual aspect park views, fitted wardrobes, en-suite shower room - Bedroom 2 – 13′1 × 10′10 (3.99m × 3.30m) – rear park aspect - Family bathroom with contemporary white suite Outside The south-west facing rear garden is a delight: wide Indian sandstone terrace, level lawn, mature hedging and that all-important gated pedestrian door opening directly onto the park.
To the front, a block-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached garage (light & power).
