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 attractive two-bedroom detached bungalow set on a generous plot in a highly desirable residential area, with an open park opposite.
The property offers well-planned accommodation and excellent potential to extend to the side, rear, or into the loft (subject to planning permission), and is available with no onward chain.
A part-glazed front door opens into an entrance porch, leading through to a welcoming entrance hall with wood parquet flooring and two useful storage cupboards along with a hatch providing access to a partially boarded loft.
The comfortable lounge features a front aspect window, parquet flooring, and a fireplace with a feature log burner providing additional heat and a focal point.
The kitchen/diner is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktops over, incorporating a sink with mixer tap, integrated hob with oven below, and extractor above.
This bright space benefits from a dual aspect and provides access to a lean-to with further door out to the garden.
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, along with a modern shower room and a separate cloakroom/WC for added convenience.
Externally, the property enjoys a low-maintenance frontage with a carriage driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to a garage equipped with light and power, which in turn leads to a useful garden store.
The sunny south facing rear garden offers a paved patio area ideal for entertaining, with raised beds, a pleasant lawn, and a shed, along with an outside tap and secure side access.
Foxcroft is ideally located close to local shops and amenities, well-regarded schools, and the parkland opposite.
The property is also within easy reach of St Albans city centre, the mainline station and bus services, with convenient access to the M25.
The mainline station also provides direct rail links to Luton and Gatwick airports.
