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
This imposing and totally unique residence was the original market garden farmhouse called Brighton Gardens, built in 1876.
It is oozing with character, is staggeringly spacious and it simply must be viewed by anyone looking in this price bracket.
There is also potential for this to be converted into 8 or 9 serviced apartments, subject to planning approval.
Outside, there is a driveway to the front of the house which would fit 10 cars comfortably.
There is also a large, double skin, detached garage, with a mezzanine floor, this has potential to be a separate dwelling with some tweaks and a rear extension, again subject to planning permission.
The rear garden is a great size and again has lots of potential. Inside, the central hallway leads to two large reception rooms on the front, on either side of the house.
Then a kitchen at the rear, overlooking the garden with feature AGA cooker. There is also a shower room and a separate WC on the ground floor.
The cellar has been converted into another two huge rooms, with ample head height, these are really versatile rooms, for home working or as further reception rooms or bedrooms.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four large double bedrooms, they really are all big doubles with king sized beds, they are serviced by the main family bathroom plus the utility room with shower on the ground floor In summary, this is a really individual and distinctive house, great as it is but with huge potential to make changes.
