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
**GUIDE PRICE £450,000 - £475,000**Situated on one of Westcliff-on-Sea's most desirable tree-lined residential roads, this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous plot and presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a property with enormous potential to modernise, extend and create their ideal family home (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Having been lovingly maintained by the current owners for many years, the property offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation throughout but would now benefit from cosmetic updating, allowing buyers to refurbish and personalise the home to their own taste whilst adding significant value.
The accommodation begins with an enclosed entrance porch leading into a welcoming reception hall with useful understairs storage.
To the front of the property is a generous bay-fronted lounge measuring over 17ft, whilst the separate dining room enjoys direct access to the rear garden via sliding patio doors, making it an ideal space for family meals and entertaining.
The fitted kitchen overlooks the rear garden and offers a range of base and wall mounted units, work surfaces, an AEG oven, four-ring gas hob and ample appliance space, providing an excellent opportunity for future remodelling into a contemporary open-plan kitchen/living space if desired.
The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an attractive leaded bay window.
The second bedroom is another generous double featuring fitted wardrobes and a charming cast iron fireplace, whilst the third bedroom provides an ideal nursery, child's bedroom or home office.
A shower room is complemented by a separate WC. Externally, the property benefits from a block paved driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
A particular feature of the property is the magnificent west-facing rear garden extending to approximately 90ft.
Beautifully established with mature trees, shrub borders, lawn, greenhouse, pond, storage sheds and patio seating area, it enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine and offers a wonderful outdoor space for families and keen gardeners alike.
The generous plot provides excellent potential for rear, side and loft extensions (subject to the necessary planning consent), allowing purchasers to create a substantial contemporary family residence in this highly sought-after location.
