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
Home Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this wonderfully spacious three bedroom first and second floor maisonette on Torquay Drive, an impressive character Home offering exceptional proportions in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea.
Arranged across two generous floors with its own ground floor entrance, the property feels far more like a house than a typical maisonette.
High ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, stained glass detailing, picture rails and cornicing give the interior a wealth of character, while the generous room sizes make this a particularly versatile Home.
The first floor is centred around a superb open plan living space.
The large bay-fronted lounge features a striking cast iron fireplace and opens into a separate dining area, itself benefiting from another bay window with stained glass detailing.
Together with the adjoining kitchen, these spaces create a fantastic open environment for everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen has its own distinctive character with parquet flooring, reeded glass cabinetry and a range cooker, alongside integrated appliances and excellent storage.
Also on this floor is a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a freestanding clawfoot roll-top bath and separate walk-in rainfall shower.
Upstairs are three genuinely well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from excellent built-in and eaves storage.
Further eaves storage and a partially boarded loft add to the practicality of the Home.
Torquay Drive is superbly positioned in the heart of Leigh, providing easy access to Leigh Broadway's independent shops, restaurants and cafés, together with the seafront, Old Leigh and excellent transport connections.
For buyers wanting the space and character of a period house with the convenience of maisonette living, this is a particularly special opportunity.
