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
VACANT - NO FURTHER CHAIN.
‘7 St Marys Road’ is a mature, deceptively spacious, double-fronted, semi-detached bungalow situated in a very popular residential address a short walk away from the historic centre of Sherborne and also the mainline railway station making London Waterloo directly in just over two hours.
The bungalow enjoys an excellent flow of natural light from large windows and a sunny east-to-west aspect.
There is a generous, level rear garden enjoying a westerly aspect and a good degree of privacy. A private driveway provides off road parking for two to three cars leading to an attached single garage.
The property is well presented and is heated via mains gas fired radiator central heating and also benefits from uPVC double glazing.
The property has scope to extend at the rear plus potential to add more off road parking, subject to the necessary planning permission.
There are superb countryside and town centre walks from nearby – ideal as you do not need to put the dogs or the children in the car!
It is only a short walk to the historic town centre of Sherborne with its superb boutique high street with cafes, restaurants, Waitrose store and independent shops plus the breath-taking Abbey, Almshouses and Sherborne's world-famous private schools.
It is also a short walk to the mainline railway station to London Waterloo. Sherborne has recently won the award for the best place to live in the South West by The Times 2024.
It also boasts 'The Sherborne' - a top class, recently opened arts and conference centre plus superb restaurant.
