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
With no onward chain and having great potential for modernisation, we are delighted to bring to market this deceptively spacious, three double-bedroom detached family home which is within walking distance of Doddinghurst Village, served by a good selection of local amenities, including Doddinghurst Infant & Junior school.
A short drive of around 5 miles will take you to Brentwood & Shenfield Town centres, where you have access to high street shopping and mainline train services into London.
Viewers will note that the property benefits from a spacious loft room with additional storage room adjacent which offers potential to create a master bedroom suite (subject to planning/regulations), and there is plenty of parking to the front and a good-sized, mature garden to the rear.
Entering the property a good-sized porch offers plenty of useful space for coat and shoe storage.
A door opens into the hallway, where you have access into the living room, kitchen, ground floor w.c and into the rear of the garage.
A large living room has a window to the front aspect and sliding patio doors opening to the garden room which spans the width of the property to the rear, offering ample space for dining and relaxing.
White wall and base units with corner shelving and glass display cabinets have been fitted in the kitchen.
There is an integrated double oven and gas hob with extractor above and plenty of space for additional appliances.
The ground floor layout could easily be adapted and would lend itself to having a fabulous open plan kitchen / diner / family room.
Stairs from the hallway rise to the first floor, where a good-sized landing has storage, loft access and doors to all rooms.
You will find three double bedrooms all have built-in storage cupboards and there is ample space for freestanding or fitted furniture.
The shower room is a spacious room with large walk-in shower cubicle and pedestal wash hand basin. Adjacent to the shower room is a separate w.c.
There is the potential to easily knock these two rooms into one, to create a larger family bathroom.
At the rear of the property there is a mature garden which commences with a block paved patio leading into the lawn.
Within the garden, there are several mature shrubs and trees, including established fruit trees providing Bramley apples and plums.
Pedestrian side access gives access to the front garden where you have a block paved driveway allowing for plenty of off-street parking, including an integral garage.
Viewers will note that several of the properties in Plovers Mead have benefitted from having the garage converted, this offers an excellent opportunity to create an additional living space or ground floor bedroom.
The remainder of the front is laid to lawn and could potentially provide additional off-street parking.
Solar panels are installed on the front roof, and our Vendor has advised that these are owned outright and have provided a good return on electricity generated back to the grid. Porch Window to side.
