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
Set within a mature plot of approximately 1/3 of an acre, this detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a full refurbishment project with significant future potential.
Tucked away and approached via a narrow driveway – with clear scope to extend – the property enjoys a private, leafy setting that immediately hints at what could be achieved here.
Internally, the bungalow offers well-proportioned accommodation comprising three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and an additional shower room.
The main sitting room is a real highlight, enjoying excellent natural light and featuring French doors that open directly onto the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor space.
The kitchen is generously sized, albeit very dated, and flows naturally into the adjoining dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and provides an excellent footprint for modern open-plan living if desired.
Outside, the rear garden is in need of attention but offers a substantial and established space, featuring mature fruit trees and plenty of room for landscaping, extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.
The overall plot size and layout also offer potential for redevelopment, subject to planning permission, making this an exciting prospect for developers or those looking to add long-term value.
In summary, this is a property brimming with potential, offering a blank canvas in a desirable plot for those with vision, whether to create a bespoke family home or explore development opportunities.
