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
Norsey Farm has always been and remains one of the most popular developments on the north side of Billericay, sitting within the widely regarded catchment area for both the Buttsbury Junior Schools and Mayflower Secondary School a significant draw for families at any stage of their journey.
This four-bedroom home sits on a generous and irregular shaped plot.
The space around it offers excellent potential for further enlargement, to both the ground and first floors, with the added and rather exciting option of building over the garage and connecting this directly to the main house, subject to the usual consents.
Of course, if extending is not on the agenda, the property already benefits from past improvements that provide an excellent level of accommodation with generous room sizes throughout.
The existing ground floor layout also lends itself beautifully to reconfiguration, most notably the opportunity to combine the dining room and extended kitchen breakfast room to create a much-desired open-plan kitchen diner day room.
Those past extensions have already delivered a double-sized kitchen breakfast room with a separate utility room, a study, a notably generous downstairs cloakroom with a double wardrobe, which could equally incorporate a shower if desired, a dining room adjoining the kitchen and a lounge with a small rear extension opening onto the garden.
A ground floor that already has a great deal to offer, with even more potential to unlock.
On the first floor, three double bedrooms and a good size single bedroom are served by an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a separate family bathroom, a very practical and well-considered arrangement.
The gardens are genuinely generous in size for this development, and please note, our photos have not been taken with a wide-angle lens.
The rear garden really does measure approximately 50' deep and by 50' across the rear boundary, with additional space to the side currently laid as a brick-paved patio but an area that could equally provide the footprint for a future extension.
Accommodation as follows...
Entrance hall Wood-style laminate flooring gives this entrance the practical edge needed for busy family life, with doors opening from here to each of the three reception rooms and the kitchen, a well-connected and free-flowing layout from the outset.
Study 2.97m x 2.09m (9'8 x 6'10) The laminate flooring continues into this useful front-facing room, which with its good floor space and natural light is very much the ideal home office or quiet workspace, a room that will be valued more with every passing year.
Ground floor cloakroom Larger than it may first appear from the photos, this downstairs cloakroom has a low-level WC and wash basin with cupboard under, and also benefits from a freestanding double wardrobe providing a very practical home for coats, shoes and all the paraphernalia that comes with family life.
With some reconfiguration, there is also scope to incorporate a shower, effectively creating a ground floor shower room.
Dining room 3.83m x 3.19m (12'6 x 10'5) Positioned in the middle of the house, this dining room features an attractive glazed and brick partition to the hallway.
Adjoining the kitchen, it is the sort of room that is frequently opened up to create a kitchen diner, and with this property already boasting an extended kitchen, the resulting combined space would be particularly impressive.
Lounge 5.82m x 4.81m (19'1 x 15'9) Positioned to the rear of the house, this naturally bright lounge benefits from rear-facing windows and a feature fireplace creating a warm and inviting focal point, a comfortable and well-proportioned room that enjoys a pleasant garden outlook.
Kitchen/breakfast room 6.6m x 3.49m > 2.87m (21'7 x 11'6 > 9'5) Extended to provide an impressive level of space, this room now has both front and rear-facing windows, flooding it with natural light throughout the day.
A practical range of units provides good storage and ample worktop space, incorporating a double oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and a four-ring gas hob.
Tiled flooring extends through the kitchen and into the adjoining utility room.
Utility room 3.49m x 1.33m (11'6 x 4'4) A very useful addition with a rear window, side door and spaces for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer.
The gas boiler is also neatly positioned on the wall, everything practical and tucked away in one place.
Landing A well-proportioned and welcoming shaped landing with a side window, turned balustrades and neutral décor throughout.
Doors lead to each of the bedrooms and bathroom, and there is an airing cupboard with hot water tank plus loft access via a drop-down ladder.
Bedroom one 3.82m x 3.36m (12'6 x 11'1) A rear-facing principal bedroom with wardrobes fitted across one wall, incorporating a dressing table, providing excellent storage.
A door leads through to the en-suite shower room.
En-suite shower room This functional space could do with some updating and currently has a tiled floor and walls, a side window, a low-level WC, a wash basin with cupboard under and a shower cubicle with a Mira shower.
Bedroom two 3.29m x 3m (10'9 x 9'10) Positioned to the front of the house but with a southerly side window, this double bedroom also benefits from a range of fitted bedroom furniture, a very practical and well-utilised room.
Bedroom three 3.47m x 2.48m (11'4 x 8'1) Another good double room with a built-in cupboard over the stairs making excellent use of the available space.
Bedroom four 2.76m x 2.37m (9' x 7'9) A rear-facing single bedroom of a good and usable size, with enough space for the required furniture.
A versatile room that would work equally well as a home office or hobby space.
Bathroom With a side window and fully tiled walls, this bathroom is fitted in a classic Victorian style with a white suite comprising a low-level WC, a wash basin with vanity cupboard under and a bath with mixer taps and shower attachment.
Outside front A double-width driveway provides generous off-street parking and access to the detached double garage.
Double garage An up and over door and side courtesy door gives access into this garage which has power and light connected and eaves storage space.
Rear garden Genuinely generous in size for this development, the rear garden measures approximately 50' deep by 50' across the rear boundary.
In addition to a brick-paved patio to the side of the house, which could equally serve as the footprint for a future extension, there is a further patio to the rear of the lounge doors, with the remainder being lawn with a number of mature trees.
Access can be gained from both sides of the property. Notice Please note we have not tested any apparatus, fixtures, fittings, or services.
