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
Situated in the heart of Chaldon, this four-bedroom detached home offers a rare blend of privacy, potential, and generous living space, all set within a substantial plot of approximately 1.25 to 1.5 acres.
The house itself is ready for a new chapter, requiring some updating but offering huge scope for personalisation and extension, making it an ideal canvas for those looking to create a truly bespoke family home.
The ground floor layout provides flexibility for both entertaining and every-day living, with two main reception rooms leading into a bright conservatory at the rear, perfect for relaxing with views across the garden.
The separate kitchen flows into a practical lean-to, offering additional storage or utility space.
A downstairs bedroom with en-suite adds versatility, whether you need a guest suite, home office, or playroom.
Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable double bedrooms and a generous single, all served by a family bathroom and separate WC.
The secluded frontage is set back from the road, providing a sense of arrival, with ample off-street parking and a detached double garage for added convenience.
Stepping outside, the property’s grounds are truly a standout feature, offering a sense of countryside living while still being within easy reach of local amenities and sought-after schools such as St Peter & St Paul's Primary and Oakhyrst Grange Prep.
The main garden stretches to around 100 ft, beautifully mature and enclosed, making it ideal for children to play or for hosting summer gatherings.
Beyond the garden, private woodland leads you through to a substantial meadow of approximately one acre, a rare find in this location and a wonderful opportunity for those who dream of keeping chickens, creating a wildflower haven, or simply enjoying the peace and space that this unique setting provides.
Whether you’re seeking a tranquil retreat or a home with room to grow, this property offers the best of both worlds, with excellent transport links and village amenities close by, making it a perfect choice for families and commuters alike.
