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
This spacious, stunningly presented property was originally the Manse to the neighbouring church.
It has been comprehensively and sensitively restored by the current vendors to a very high standard, retaining many original features in both Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts styles.
In addition to five bedrooms, the property features a 17ft x 16ft kitchen, hand crafted by Touchwood of Woodbridge, a lounge, dining room and further reception room, a bathroom and two shower rooms.
Off street parking is available for two vehicles, and a first floor balcony offers a sideways view down to the sea. Efficient zoned heating is supplied by a Vaillant gas fired boiler.
It powers underfloor heating to the rear half of the ground floor, traditional style column radiators throughout the rest of the house, with a cast iron radiator on the landing.
All windows have been replaced with high quality bespoke double glazed traditional hardwood units, most of which are lead-weighted sashes.
Tomline Road is ideally located in a popular residential location, just a short walk from the sea front, and Felixstowe's main town centre with its range of amenities.
There are excellent public transport routes to Ipswich and beyond. This is only the second time in its 120 year history that the property has been available to purchase.
