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
General Description Smiths Property Experts offer to the market with no upward chain this excellent detached bungalow in the heart of the sought-after village of Wymeswold.
The property occupies a private and peaceful west-facing cul-de-sac location, a stone's throw from the village centre and its excellent array of pubs and eateries.
There is a generous amount of accommodation internally, a private driveway, and mature front and west-facing rear gardens with the addition of a detached garage.
The Property The property would benefit from a full schedule of modernisation works, but is presented in habitable condition and with an excellent layout.
The accommodation is laid all across the ground floor, with a spacious entrance hall leading in turn to all of the accommodation.
There are two generous double bedrooms, a third bedroom/study and a family bathroom.
To the right-hand side of the floor plan is a generous sitting room to the front, and to the rear, a kitchen/diner with direct rear garden access.
There is potential to redefine living spaces and extend, should the eventual purchaser wish.
The Outside The property is set back from this peaceful cul-de-sac behind a low-level wall with mature lawned gardens and borders.
There is a private driveway to the right-hand side, and behind the driveway is a detached garage with an up-and-over door and power internally.
The rear gardens are private, west-facing and a lovely feature. Full of afternoon sun, there is a patio terrace to the immediate rear of the main house, and behind are central lawns and mixed borders.
