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
Silver Birch is a well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a pleasant elevated position on Fell Lane, Penrith, Cumbria, extending to approximately 1170 sq ft.
The property enjoys fine views over Penrith and towards the distant fells of the Lowther Valley.
Renovated and modernised by the current owners over the past four years, whilst retaining its original single-storey layout, the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing throughout, a garage, and generous gardens to the front, side and rear.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, Silver Birch represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a deceptively spacious and versatile bungalow in this sought-after elevated position.
About The accommodation is arranged entirely on one level and comprises an entrance hall leading to a spacious lounge with large front-facing windows enjoying the elevated outlook.
The kitchen has been fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, dark worktops, and features a striking red range cooker with extractor hood over, complemented by colourful tiled splashbacks and a garden-facing window.
There are three bedrooms - two comfortable double rooms and a third bedroom which, whilst a spacious single, is capable of accommodating a double bed.
One bedroom is currently utilised as a home office and another as an art studio, demonstrating the versatility of the accommodation on offer. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe.
A family bathroom with WC and a separate WC complete the internal accommodation, along with a useful storage cupboard off the hall.
