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
Chain-free | detached spacious bungalow | private close | en-suite A truly inviting, rarely-available three-bedroom detached bungalow on Almond Close, - quietly nestled on a private cul-de-sac with only a few neighbouring homes.
Set on a generous plot, this home boasts a substantial rear garden, detached garage, driveway parking and plenty of space outside - creating a private, peaceful retreat with an enviable sense of calm.
Inside, the accommodation flows beautifully: A large living/dining room leading into the rear garden.
Spacious separate kitchen to the front and three well-proportioned bedrooms and a master bedroom with its own en-suite - an especially convenient feature for daily living.
The property is well maintained, ready to move into, yet offers the potential to extend (STPP), giving forward-thinking buyers the opportunity to add value and create more space.
Location is one of this home’s strongest draws.
Almond Close lies within easy reach of excellent local amenities - just a short walk from Icknield Primary School and Icknield High School, offering a straightforward school run for families.
For everyday essentials and services, residents benefit from proximity to medical facilities such as the nearby gp surgery, and easy access to the wider transport network.
Commuters will appreciate being just a short drive or ride from Leagrave railway station and the nearby motorway junction, making journeys into London, surrounding towns or daily commutes far more manageable.
Despite this convenience, Almond Close remains a quietly tucked-away enclave.
The surrounding area sees a relatively low crime rate compared with other parts of the town, offering reassurance for peace of mind.
The freehold, chain-free status adds further appeal, making it straightforward to purchase and settle in. This bungalow offers a perfect balance of comfort, convenience and potential.
It’s an ideal home for families looking for space and schooling nearby - yet also suits those seeking single-level, low-maintenance living with scope for personalisation and growth.
