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 Occupying one of the finest positions on Eastbourne's celebrated Royal Parade, directly opposite Pavilion Gardens and moments from the beach, Breakers is a truly exceptional late Victorian seafront villa extending to approximately 3,351 sq ft across four floors.
Sympathetically restored to the highest standard whilst retaining a wealth of beautiful original features, including stained glass, open fireplaces, ornate cornicing, and elegant architraves; this is a truly a remarkable family home that simply must be seen.
Inside The welcoming southeast-facing sunroom sets the tone perfectly, leading through an original stained-glass internal bay into a gracious entrance hall with sweeping timber banister staircase.
The principal reception spaces are stunning - the breakfast room is bathed in jewel-coloured light from original stained-glass transoms, with a cast-iron fireplace as its focal point, whilst original arched folding doors connect through to the owners' private sitting room with its high coved ceiling, central chandelier, and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony.
With both rooms open, this magnificent entertaining space stretches to approximately 37 feet.
The fully fitted kitchen is well-appointed throughout, and the lower ground floor provides a home office, spacious utility room, and two further double bedrooms - one opening directly to the beautiful courtyard garden.
Bedrooms Seven beautifully appointed bedrooms are spread across the upper floors, all with ensuite facilities, heated towel rails, TV points, and made-to-measure blackout curtains.
The principal first-floor suite is particularly impressive, with a stained-glass bay window and French doors opening to a large private balcony with sweeping views across Pavilion Gardens towards the promenade and sea.
A second private balcony on the second floor offers equally stunning coastal views.
Rooms are individually styled to a high standard throughout, with carefully chosen wallpapers and quality furnishings.
Outside The walled, west-facing courtyard garden was professionally landscaped in 2015 and is laid with York stone paving for easy maintenance.
An ornamental pond with fountain, year-round planting including palms, Japanese maple, climbing roses, and a large New Zealand tree fern make this a wonderfully private outdoor retreat.
A substantial 30x9ft double tandem garage with electric roller door completes the package.
