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
An exceptionally appealing linked detached bungalow, enjoying an enviable corner position boasting spectacular Pentland views and resting on the edge of open fields and countryside in the capital's desirable Balerno area.
Well connected to the city via regular public transport links, this charming home has been extended over the years to form a highly flexible, split level living space, well suited to growing families and those working from home on a permanent basis.
The accommodation is well presented throughout and briefly comprises: Entrance hall, light filled dining hall which enjoys delightful west facing views over the over the neighbouring fields and acts as a natural hub of the house, steps lead down to a generously proportioned reception room with near floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rear garden and sliding doors leading to a versatile garden room which would make an excellent home office and has direct access to the outside, stylish modern kitchen with a range of cream base and wall units, complete with coordinated worktops, appliances and a skylight, a large utility room and store, with good potential to develop further (STC).
The space continues with a well-proportioned south facing principal bedroom complete with walk-in wardrobe, fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room, a downstairs double bedroom which is currently in use as an additional reception room, two similarly sized double bedrooms on the upper level both with storage, and finally the main family bathroom with three piece white suite, tiling to splash areas and over-bath electric shower/splash screen.
To the front of the house a monobloc driveway provides superb off-street parking and sits next to an attractive private garden, packed with a variety of small trees and shrubs.
To the rear is a tranquil, fully enclosed garden, laid to low maintenance paving and offering a peaceful spot to relax and entertain during the warmer months.
