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 rare and remarkable opportunity to acquire a substantial gated detached Georgian residence, commanding a sprawling acre plot on one of Goffs Oak’s most prestigious and sought-after roads.
Elm Lodge comes to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, representing a true "blank canvas" for those with a grand vision.
Whether you are seeking a significant development opportunity (subject to the necessary planning consents) or are an end-user looking to craft a bespoke "mega mansion" in a premier location, this property offers unparalleled potential.
The estate is characterised by its vast, private grounds and a collection of substantial outbuildings, providing the perfect foundation for a truly world-class home.
Step Inside: - The main residence, spanning approximately 2,122 sq.
ft., retains the classic, grand proportions of a substantial family home but now requires full modernisation throughout to bring it up to contemporary standards.
The ground floor is designed for grand-scale living and entertaining, featuring two generous sitting rooms—one with a striking archway transition and a feature fireplace—a formal dining room, and a dedicated kitchen space.
Two separate garden rooms and a boot room offer seamless transitions to the expansive grounds.
Upstairs, the property currently hosts five bedrooms, including a large principal suite with an en-suite bathroom, plus a family bathroom, all of which offer the scope to be redesigned into a luxurious, high-specification layout.
Step Outside: - The exterior of Elm Lodge is where the true scale and rarity of this opportunity become apparent.
Situated on an acre plot , the South facing grounds are a mix of expansive lawns, mature trees, and a vast driveway accessed via private gates.
The property is uniquely equipped with an extensive array of outbuildings totalling over 1,000 sq. ft., including multiple garages and various storage units.
These structures offer incredible versatility, whether utilised for a classic car collection, a high-end home gym, a professional studio, or incorporated into a grander architectural redevelopment plan.
Location, Schools & Transport: - Located on the premier Halstead Hill, Elm Lodge is nestled amongst some of the region's most impressive "mega mansions" and exclusive gated developments.
Goffs Oak is highly sought after for its semi-rural charm combined with exceptional connectivity.
Education: Families are well-served by elite local schooling, including the highly regarded Goffs Oak Primary & Nursery School and Woodside Primary School.
