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
Impressive Character Cottage | Three Bedrooms | Semi-Rural Setting | Beautiful Garden | Versatile Summer House | Gated Resident Parking Beresfords are delighted to present this charming and highly individual three bedroom mid-terrace character cottage, tucked away in a sought-after semi-rural location on the outskirts of Upminster.
From the moment you step inside, it is clear that this is a home with personality, charm and a layout that feels refreshingly different from the standard family house.
Quirky features, well-proportioned accommodation and an attractive landscaped garden combine to create a property that offers both character and practical family living.
The ground floor is centred around a wonderfully sociable open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining area, providing a flexible space that works equally well for everyday family life, entertaining friends or simply relaxing at home.
The fitted kitchen sits neatly within the open-plan arrangement, while the adjoining lounge and dining areas provide plenty of scope for different furniture arrangements and entertaining zones.
A welcoming entrance hall leads into the main living accommodation, while a stylish three-piece shower room on the ground floor adds an excellent level of convenience for family living and guests.
Upstairs, the property offers three great-size bedrooms, providing flexibility for a growing family, home working or occasional guests.
The first-floor landing leads to a further contemporary three-piece shower room, meaning both floors benefit from their own bathroom facilities. Outside, the property becomes particularly appealing.
The beautifully landscaped rear garden provides an attractive and private outdoor setting, with plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months.
Positioned towards the rear of the garden is a versatile summer house, which has previously been used as an occasional guest room.
It could equally lend itself to a home office, hobby room, teenagers' retreat or peaceful garden escape, subject to the purchaser's requirements.
The property also benefits from gated resident's parking, providing valuable off-street parking. Its location is another major attraction.
Set within a highly sought-after semi-rural part of Upminster, the property offers a wonderful balance between countryside surroundings and everyday convenience.
Upminster town centre is just a short drive away, providing a range of shops, cafés, restaurants and local amenities, while families will appreciate the proximity to a selection of well-regarded schools.
For commuters, there is also easy access to the A127, A13 and M25, making this an excellent base for travelling towards London and beyond.
This is far from a conventional terrace house – it is a characterful home with an individual layout, generous accommodation and plenty of potential to make it your own.
