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
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom detached home occupying an exceptionally generous and private corner plot in a leafy, semi-rural setting on the Rayleigh/Eastwood borders.
Set behind mature screening and surrounded by established greenery, the property enjoys an unusually private position with a long rear garden, extensive driveway, attached garage and additional access from the Disraeli Road side.
It is the plot, setting and sense of space that immediately distinguish this home, offering a level of individuality increasingly difficult to find locally.
The accommodation is substantial and highly versatile, with two reception rooms, two conservatory-style garden rooms, a ground-floor fourth bedroom/study and bathroom, three further bedrooms upstairs and an impressive principal bedroom opening directly onto its own private covered balcony overlooking the garden.
The house offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and personalise a substantial, highly individual family home around its remarkable plot.
Occupying an unusually generous and private corner position, with additional access from the Disraeli Road side, the side and rear land provides valuable extra space and considerable longer-term scope and potential, subject to all necessary planning consents.
