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
Tucked away in a quiet, sought after pocket of Rottingdean, 80 Eley Drive is a three bedroom detached house that feels like an exciting blank canvas.
The main property needs a cosmetic refurbishment and modernisation throughout, making it an ideal project if you are looking to tailor a home exactly to your own taste and lifestyle.
With two bathrooms and a generous layout, the house already has excellent bones and a lovely, welcoming footprint just waiting for someone to create a gorgeous home.
While the inside requires some vision and work, the outside space is already a complete joy.
The rear garden is beautifully mature, filled with established trees, vibrant shrubs, and hidden corners that offer a wonderful sense of privacy and peace.
It feels miles away from the bustle of the city, yet you are just a short trip from Brighton's seafront and the historic heart of the village.
Nestled within this green oasis is a fantastic, modern garden office room.
This fully insulated and powered space is completely ready to use, double glazed, and serves as the perfect quiet retreat for working from home, a creative studio, or a workout space.
It looks out across the garden making the daily grind feel much more peaceful. An unpolished gem in Rottingdean. This detached 3 bed, 2 bath retreat is your chance to design a dream home.
Including an enchanting, mature secret garden and a sleek, ultra modern garden studio for wfh days. Moments from the coast and South Downs. Completely chain free.
