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
DESCRIPTION A stunning property and one of the most individual and versatile homes we have seen in many years.
Ladderstile Lodge is a grade-II-curtilage-listed detached home formed by the creation of a former barn and standing in an attractive courtyard of period properties.
In recent years, the house has been comprehensively though sympathetically modernised and exudes quality and individuality throughout.
The owners have added a stunning detached 2-bedroom ANNEXE - an ideal opportunity for multi-generational family living or a host of alternative uses.
Ladderstile Lodge stands on the southwestern edge of the town and is a pleasant stroll along the High Road or across Bell Common to the High Street where there is a great range of restaurants, shops and cafes.
Epping Forest and its wonderful walking and biking opportunities are also just on the doorstep.
