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 sprawling deceptively spacious 3237 sq ft detached residence surrounded by stunning countryside with attached barn and 0.34 acre grounds (stls) What We say at The Zoe Napier Group If you would like a bang for your buck, then this is the property for you!
With over 3200 square feet of sprawling, versatile accommodation and potential to create a self-contained annexe (stp), it would appeal to a multi-generational family that enjoy living the country life.
The semi-rural location and proximity to Maldon/ Burnham-on-Crouch will appeal to maritime enthusiasts and the nearby train station allows an easy commute to London.
What the owners say We have loved every minute of living here over the last 19 years, having such easy access onto the farmer’s field to the rear has enabled us to enjoy many a long country dog walk and having such a large garage/ driveway has allowed us to indulge in our other passion……classic cars !
With the equestrian yard at the end of the lane it’s would be an ideal location for families that wish to place their horses into livery.
