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 very appealing and beautiful 1932 built, four-bedroom detached family home extending to and impressive 1,625 sq.
ft of internal living space, occupying a desirable, elevated position with open fields to the rear and 0.4 miles to Shenfield Station and Broadway.
The property is approached through an entrance porch, opening into an impressive reception hall with oak flooring, underfloor heating continuing throughout the home (excluding the kitchen) and detailed wall panelling immediately introducing the character that continues throughout much of the house.
A large side window at the top of the turned staircase allows natural light to flood both the hallway and landing.
Glazed double doors lead into the formal dining room which is an exceptionally generous second reception room and lends itself to a variety of uses, with a large box window flooding the room with natural light.
To the rear, the living room is an inviting and characterful space, with a bespoke oak pivot door providing a wonderful connection with the garden, framing the outlook and opening directly onto the patio.
The kitchen/breakfast room provides a lovely cooking space with views extending over the impressive garden.
The white gloss cabinetry is complimented by the wooden work surfaces and colourful glass splashback, with integrated dishwasher, duel fuel range cooker and space for a small table.
A useful ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation at this level. Upstairs, the property offers four generously sized bedrooms, again, with underfloor heating throughout.
The principal bedroom is positioned at the front and benefits from a feature bay window bringing excellent natural light into the room.
Bedrooms two and three overlook the garden and enjoy particularly impressive views across the neighbouring countryside and farmland, creating a remarkably peaceful outlook whilst bedroom four has its own attractive architectural detailed window.
The family bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a generous sized, panelled bath, separate walk in shower, wash basin and WC.
One of the home's most impressive features is undoubtedly its large westerly facing rear garden which enjoys sunshine for much of the day.
Immediately behind the house is a generous paved patio, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond, an extensive lawn is surrounded by an established collection of mature trees, shrubs and planting.
A pathway leads towards the rear section of the garden, where you'll find a summerhouse, garden shed and fruit trees.
A gate at the rear opens towards the adjoining farmland with paths leading directly into Brentwood, further enhancing the property's appealing countryside setting.
To the front, a wide brick-paved carriage driveway provides excellent off-street parking and incorporates an established central planting bed.
Gated access to the side leads to the detached garage, which benefits from power, lighting and a remotely operated roller door, together with an attached secure bike shed and store.
Combining period character, 1,625 sq.
ft of internal accommodation, a fabulous westerly garden, extensive parking and a countryside outlook with exceptional access to Shenfield, this is a superb family home in a particularly desirable setting and offers very comfortable family living with the potential to extend to the side or into the loft, STPP.
