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
Austin & Wyatt are delighted to welcome to the market this chain free, well-presented freehold studio bungalow, offering an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors alike.
Situated within walking distance of Southampton General Hospital, the location is ideal for anyone seeking convenience, strong rental potential, or low-maintenance living.
Additionally the property is being sold with no forward chain which further adds to the appeal.
The property features a bright and neatly arranged main living space that serves as both the lounge and bedroom, designed to maximise comfort and functionality.
(If privacy or separation is preferred, simple solutions such as a room divider, sliding screen, or partition wall could easily create a distinct sleeping area.) A well-maintained kitchen and a modern bathroom complete the interior layout.
Additionally, there is potential for a loft conversion, to further improve the size and layout of the property.
Externally, the bungalow benefits from a low-maintenance garden space, perfect for relaxing outdoors, along with off-road parking, which is a fantastic asset in this popular residential area.
Being freehold and in good condition throughout, this is a rare and appealing opportunity in a highly convenient location.
