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 remarkable plot of circa 1 acre and surrounded by mature woodland, Downhill is a substantial detached family residence approaching 3,000 sq ft within the highly sought-after semi-rural setting of Great Warley, within easy access of Brentwood & Shenfield railway stations plus excellent local schools including The Brentwood Ursuline Convent School & Brentwood Independent School.
The property occupies an exceptional position with extensive grounds that not only provide a high degree of privacy and tranquillity, but also present excellent scope for extension, re-development or enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions, making this a rare opportunity to create a truly impressive long-term family home.
Approached via a private driveway, the property immediately impresses with its attractive character façade and tranquil setting.
The entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms and staircase to the first floor, setting the tone for the spacious accommodation throughout.
Downstairs, the living room is particularly bright and spacious, featuring a charming bay window and attractive fireplace.
The ground floor also benefits from a separate dining room and an additional study.
To the rear, the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area, a generous and sociable space fitted with a range of traditional cabinetry, ample work surfaces and views across the gardens.
A utility room sits adjacent, providing further practicality, along with a ground floor shower room. The first floor features a spacious landing leading to four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom.
Externally, the property is set within substantial mature grounds, offering exceptional privacy and seclusion.
Expansive lawns extend around the house, and a raised terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the surrounding views.
The property also benefits from a detached garage, offering excellent storage, workshop space or potential for further use, subject to the necessary consents.
Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support: A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
The service also provides access to an unlimited legal advice helpline staffed by qualified solicitors to assist with any questions you may have during your moving journey, and Mover Protection which is designed to help recoup certain costs if your sale or purchase should fail to complete through no fault of your own (terms and limits apply).
