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
An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of just two individually designed executive homes, set within a picturesque semi-rural location in the highly sought-after village of Great Horkesley.
Currently under construction by a well-regarded local developer, this impressive home will be finished to an exceptional standard, reflecting their established reputation for quality.
Plot 1 is an elegantly designed property, built in a striking combination of red brick and render, enhanced by an attractive bay window.
The accommodation opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, complete with a practical understairs cupboard.
From here, doors lead to a cloakroom, a charming living room featuring an inset log burner and bay window, and the true heart of the home — a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family area.
Extending across the full width of the property, this superb space has been thoughtfully designed for modern living and entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening seamlessly onto the rear garden.
The bespoke kitchen will feature high-quality integrated Bosch/AEG appliances, sleek quartz worktops, and a central island, combining both style and functionality.
To the first floor, there are four generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with a luxurious en-suite shower room. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.
Externally, the property is set back from the road and benefits from a block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking.
The rear garden offers a private and unoverlooked setting, complete with a porcelain-paved sun terrace and the remainder laid to lawn.
Further benefits include: > Air source heat pump with underfloor heating to the ground floor > Luxury vinyl tile flooring and high-quality carpets throughout > Oak internal doors Stylish, high-specification bathrooms and tiling > 10-year new home warranty > Due for completion in late summer 2026, early reservation may provide buyers with the opportunity to personalise selected internal finishes, including flooring, carpets and tiling (subject to build stage).
Homes of this calibre are seldom available, and early enquiry is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
