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
Nestled within the prestigious private estate of Maresfield Park, on the southern edge of the Ashdown Forest, lies a rare opportunity to break ground on a meticulously designed five-bedroom residence.
The site comes with the benefit of full planning permission for a striking barn-style residence, and the expansive plot offers the perfect balance of secluded woodland living, and refined neighbourhood character.
We estimate the GDV once built to be approximately £1,450,000 - £1,475,000 if completed to a high standard. The guide price for the land is £495,000.
This design aesthetic seamlessly marries the rustic heritage of East Sussex with contemporary luxury, featuring soaring ceiling heights, expansive glazing, and an open-plan layout designed to invite the outside in.
Positioned to capture the best of the English countryside, the home is designed with south westerly-facing rear garden.
Residents will enjoy golden-hour sunsets and uninterrupted, panoramic views stretching across the rolling heathlands and ancient treelines of the Ashdown Forest.
It is a backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons, offering a sense of scale and serenity that is increasingly hard to find.
While providing a "world away" feel, the plot remains within easy reach of Tunbridge wells / Uckfield’s amenities, top-tier schooling, and mainline rail links to London.
