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
The existing property is accompanied by planning permission (EPF/2784/18) for the construction of a separate two-storey dwelling, with its own access from an adjacent road making it ideal for developers, investors, or those seeking a multi-home setup.
The current house offers a well-proportioned layout, including a kitchen, living and dining area, a separate reception room, and a downstairs WC.
To the first first there are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an additional WC. There is a vast amount of scope refurbish/extend the existing property, subject to planning consent.
Outside, the home benefits from a front garden, private driveway, and garage. The generous plot provides substantial space for both outdoor living and the approved new build.
Conveniently positioned near a range of local amenities, including shops, restaurants, and schools, the property also enjoys excellent transport connections via the M11, as well as nearby Loughton and Debden Underground stations.
The open green spaces of Epping Forest are just a short distance away, offering a perfect balance of town and countryside living.
St Johns Road is a popular residential turning in an excellent position for those who enjoy the forest and the outdoor activities that come with it, yet it is still situated close to the high street with many shops, bars and restaurants on offer.
Loughton has excellent transport links into London with the tube station within easy reach and good road connections including M11 & M25 both within ten minutes of access by car.
There are several well-regarded state and private schools nearby and a variety of leisure facilities including golf courses and sports clubs.
A particular feature of the location is the proximity of the forest which lies roughly 300 yards away.
