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
With no onward chain and offering potential for improvement, allowing the next homeowner to put their own stamp on the property, is this four double bedroom detached family home, which has had a double storey extension to the side of the property, creating spacious accommodation over both levels.
There is parking available to the rear via a detached garage with additional parking space in front, and there is an easy to maintain garden which has pedestrian access to the workshop located at the rear of the garage.
The property is situated on a wide corner plot in ‘Shortcroft’, a quiet residential turning in Kelvedon Hatch Village, within walking distance of local amenities, including bus routes into Brentwood Town Centre where you will find high street shopping and access to mainline train services into London.
Entering the property into the front porch, you have access into the living room and into a good-sized, fully tiled ground floor cloakroom.
The living room is a large, L-shaped room measuring 30’10 x 25’10 maximum measurements with windows to the front and rear elevations and stairs rising to the first floor.
A spacious kitchen / breakfast room is fitted in a range of wood effect wall and base units with integrated appliances to include microwave, fridge/freezer, double oven and hob with extractor above.
There is additional space available for a freestanding washing machine, dishwasher and space for a breakfast table and chairs. Sliding patio doors from the kitchen give access into the rear garden.
The living room is spacious enough that you could reconfigure the ground floor layout and move the wall in the kitchen, thus creating a larger kitchen / diner / family room.
Rising to the first floor a spacious landing has doors to all rooms and access into the loft. The property has four double bedrooms all with fitted or built-in storage.
The master bedroom is formed from the upper extension of the property to the side, creating a spacious room which benefits from having access into its own en-suite shower room.
Finishing the accommodation on this level is a family bathroom with tile panelled bath, wash hand basin and w.c.
To the rear of the property there is an easy to maintain garden which commences with a patio leading into neat lawns with well-planted flowerbeds to the borders.
There is pedestrian access at the rear of the garden which gives entry into the workshop located at the rear of the garage and further pedestrian access via a side gate giving access to the front of the property.
There is also pedestrian access from the workshop into the garage. The garage offers secure off-street parking with an additional parking space in front of the garage.
