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
No onward chain Situated along Steeple Road in Mayland, this substantial four bedroom detached bungalow occupies a plot in excess of one acre and is offered as a registered smallholding, presenting a rare opportunity for those seeking space, privacy and lifestyle potential in a semi-rural setting.
The property is set back from the road and benefits from two separate driveways, providing excellent access and extensive off road parking, together with two garages.
The overall plot is a standout feature, extending to just over an acre and comprising a large open lawn, established boundaries, a dedicated growing area with greenhouse and beds, and a range of outbuildings including a summer house and additional sheds, ideal for those with horticultural or smallholding interests.
Internally, the accommodation is well proportioned and arranged across a single level, offering both flexibility and practicality.
The entrance hall provides access to the shower room positioned to the right, finished in neutral tones, and to the left opens into the spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, offering ample storage and space for dining, with views over the rear garden.
Bedroom four is accessed from the kitchen/dining room and offers excellent versatility, ideal for use as a home office or additional bedroom.
From the kitchen/dining room, the layout flows through to the main living room, a bright and inviting space featuring a wide bay window that allows natural light to pour in and provides a pleasant outlook over the grounds.
The remaining bedrooms are arranged off the central hallway, comprising three well proportioned rooms suitable for family living or guest accommodation.
These are served by the family bathroom, adding further convenience for larger households.
Externally, the grounds provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion, with the majority laid to lawn and complemented by more cultivated areas and useful outbuildings.
The generous plot offers significant potential for further use or development, subject to the usual planning consents, and is ideally suited to those looking to enjoy a more rural lifestyle.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a spacious bungalow with extensive grounds in a sought after village location.
