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 Victorian detached house offering great potential for extension (subject to consents) in over a third of an acre.
SITUATION: The property is situated in the picturesque village of Bignor in the heart of the South Downs National Park.
The historic market town of Petworth lies just 5.8 miles to the north and is perhaps best known for the National Trust owned Petworth House with its beautiful 750 acre parkland.
The town also benefits from a regular farmers market, first class deli and shops catering for most everyday needs.
There are annual Petworth music and literary festivals and a range of vibrant activities, clubs and societies. Sporting activities include golf at Cowdray Park and horse and motor racing at Goodwood.
More comprehensive shopping facilities, including major supermarkets, can be found in Chichester (13miles) as well as the renowned Festival Theatre.
Communications with London are surprisingly easy with mainline stations at Amberley (4miles, Victoria 96 minutes) and Pulborough (6 miles, Victoria 80minutes). The A3 (M) is within a 20 mile drive.
DESCRIPTION: This attractive detached Victorian house has elevations of brick under a clay tiled roof.
The large plot and single storey extension to the rear contribute to its great potential for further extension, subject to planning consents.
The front door opens to an inner hall and then to the kitchen/breakfast room which is well fitted with a range of oak fronted wall and floor units.
The adjacent dining room opens onto the garden terrace at the rear and sitting room has a fireplace with wood burner.
A study or fourth bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a utility room offers good storage. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms, one with access to a roof top terrace.
A 2nd shower room completes the first floor. OUTSIDE: The property is approached from the lane by a driveway leading to the garage and parking area to one side of the property.
The gardens are to the south and west of the house, and have been landscaped to provide an orchard, lawn and water feature with ponds and fountain.
