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
A distinguished four-bedroom detached residence, occupying a generous plot on Woodland Drive, one of Brighton & Hove's most prestigious tree-lined avenues, moments from Hove Park.
Set well back from the road behind a substantial driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, the property immediately impresses with its grand proportions and elegant design.
A welcoming porch opens into a magnificent entrance hall, where a sweeping staircase and impressive ceiling height create a striking first impression.
The beautifully proportioned principal reception room enjoys a dual aspect, with French doors opening directly onto the landscaped rear garden.
A marble fireplace provides an elegant focal point, while an adjoining dining room creates a sociable semi-open-plan arrangement, ideal for both family life and entertaining.
Beyond, the spacious kitchen and breakfast room overlooks the garden and offers direct access outside.
A guest WC, utility room and an extensive double garage complete the ground floor, presenting exciting potential for reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.
The first floor centres around an impressive galleried landing leading to four generously sized bedrooms.
The exceptional principal suite benefits from dual-aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, a dressing room and a luxurious en-suite with both bath and separate shower.
Three further bedrooms, all with built-in storage, are served by a spacious family bathroom.
The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a particular highlight, thoughtfully arranged over a series of terraces with mature planting creating distinct areas for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the sun in complete privacy.
Perfectly positioned close to Hove Park, with its café, tennis and basketball courts, the property is also within easy reach of Hove Station, the A23, highly regarded schools and the excellent amenities of central Brighton and Hove.
Having called this house home for just under five decades, it is difficult to put into words just how much it has meant to our family.
From the moment we moved in, it has been a place filled with love, laughter and countless happy memories. The location has always been one of its greatest attractions.
Being just a short walk from Hove Park has been wonderfully convenient, while the neighbourhood itself has been everything we could have hoped for.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have such kind, friendly neighbours, many of whom have become friends.
This has been the perfect family home, providing the space to watch our sons grow up and, later, to welcome our grandchildren as they created their own special memories here.
The house has hosted family celebrations, welcomed friends and relatives from overseas for extended stays, and even provided the setting for a dear friend's wedding.
Its generous and versatile accommodation has adapted to every stage of family life, with one of our sons even transforming the garage into a photography studio.
My husband absolutely adored this home, and so have I. If it were not for my family now living overseas, I would happily stay here for many more years.
It has truly been our forever home, and I sincerely hope it brings the next family as much happiness, love and cherished memories as it has brought to ours.
