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
Occupying one of the largest plots on this highly sought-after road and positioned in a prime Upminster location, this three-bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow offers exceptional potential to extend and create a substantial family home, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Situated within a quiet and highly desirable turning, the property enjoys an enviable position within easy reach of Upminster High Street and Upminster Station, approximately 0.3 miles away, providing excellent access to the town centre’s extensive range of shops, restaurants, cafés and transport connections.
The location is particularly convenient for a selection of highly regarded local schools.
The Coopers’ Company and Coborn School is approximately 0.2 miles away, while Upminster Infant School and Upminster Junior School are approximately 0.3 miles away.
St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is approximately 0.3 miles, with Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School and Hall Mead School approximately 0.6 miles away.
Set on an exceptionally generous plot, the property benefits from a substantial west-facing rear garden, together with a huge frontage incorporating an impressive in-and-out driveway providing extensive off-street parking.
One of the property’s greatest attractions is the considerable scope it offers for future development.
There is vast potential to extend to the side and rear as well as further into the loft, subject to planning permission, allowing the incoming purchaser the opportunity to significantly increase the existing accommodation and create a superb long-term family residence.
The current accommodation comprises three bedrooms, a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and an additional first-floor bathroom.
With its substantial plot, west-facing garden, extensive frontage and outstanding potential, the property could equally suit purchasers looking to downsize into a well-positioned bungalow or a growing family looking to upsize and create their ideal home in one of Upminster’s most convenient locations.
Rarely does a property offering this combination of plot size, location and future potential become available on New Place Gardens.
