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
Set centrally within a 0.3 acre plot is this extended four bedroom home offering flexible accommodation and located in the exceptional rural Parish of Alphamstone.
The entrance hall is bay fronted and has stairs rising to the first floor, internal double doors into the living room and access to the kitchen, snug and accommodation beyond.
The 20' living room benefits from double doors to the rear garden, a large window to the front and a red brick fireplace compete with inset wood burner.
At the opposite end of the house the snug includes built-in storage cupboards and doors to a playroom (formerly the garage) and an office. Both rooms have their own access to the garden.
The rear of the property has been extended by the current owners to create an impressive open plan kitchen/diner.
The kitchen has a good range of a wall and base units, tiled flooring, integrated appliances including a dishwasher and Rangemaster with extractor hood over, a central island with an oak work surface and there is a large dining space at the far end with French doors that lead to an outdoor terrace.
Additionally, there is a pantry and the tiled floors lead into the utility/boot room.
The utility room has access to the driveway and leads to the ground floor cloakroom which comprises a shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and a chrome wall mounted heated towel rail.
The utility room also benefits from additional work surfaces with low level cupboards, an inset butler sink and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
On the first floor a good size landing leads to the four bedrooms and family bathroom with a seating area at one end.
The principal bedroom has a window to the front aspect and built-in wardrobes to one side with the potential to add an en-suite. Bedroom two again has built-in wardrobes and a window to the front.
The family bathroom comprises part panelled walls, a panel enclosed bath with shower over, low level WC, wash hand basin, wall mounted heated towel rail and a Velux window.
Bedrooms three and four are located to the rear of the house separated by a stud wall which means these rooms could be remodelled to create a much larger principal suite if required.
There are views from bedroom four of the paddock land behind.
Outside Spindles sits centrally within a generous 0.3 of an acre plot, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a pathway leading from the front gate to the front door and then round to the side access.
A patio seating area at the rear can be accessed internally from the kitchen/diner and this leads to a gravelled low maintenance garden with established roses and a pond, separated from the driveway via fencing and a gate and steps on the opposite side lead down to the garden.
The driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles with a detached timber clad workshop presenting a fantastic opportunity for an external office.
Location Alphamstone is a rural parish which is well regarded for its stunning countryside and its close proximity to nearby Bures which has a good range of amenities including a school, shop, pubs and branch line rail link to London's Liverpool Street via Marks Tey.
