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
Welcome to a serious show-stopper—a beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious three bedroom detached bungalow with a self-contained one bedroom annexe, tucked away in the highly sought-after village of Fobbing and perfectly placed for excellent A13 links.
Properties like this don’t come along often… and this one really does have it all.
Inside, the main bungalow offers a welcoming entrance hallway, a lovely size lounge, a stunning kitchen that’s made to impress, a large conservatory for all-year living, a beautiful Jack and Jill bathroom, and three great size bedrooms that deliver space without compromise.
The one bedroom annexe is a total lifestyle win—ideal for multi-generational living, older children craving independence, elderly relatives or guests who may never want to leave.
It comprises a large lounge/bedroom, shower room and kitchen area, all thoughtfully designed and completely self-contained. Step outside and this is where the property truly steals the show.
A double garage with electric remote door, ample driveway parking, and then… that garden. Backing onto open fields with glorious views, it’s an entertainer’s dream and a peaceful retreat all in one.
Highlights include a games room/summerhouse/home office, outdoor bar with power, covered seating area with heating and power, built-in BBQ and pizza oven, and beautifully landscaped grounds with low-maintenance artificial grass.
Space, style, flexibility and views that never get old—this home ticks every box and then adds a few extras. Viewing is highly recommended, because this is one you really need to experience in person.
