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
Guide price £425,000 - £450,000.
There is something particularly appealing about a home that gives you the space to decide what comes next, and this substantial detached house on Cowley Drive offers exactly that.
Sitting on a generous wrap-around plot and extending to approximately 1,240 sq ft, the house has already been enlarged to create a wonderfully spacious single-storey home.
It is perfectly liveable as it stands, while offering plenty of opportunity for a new owner to update the interiors and create something entirely their own.
The accommodation is arranged around a central hallway, with three genuinely well-proportioned double bedrooms giving the layout plenty of flexibility.
There is a separate living room overlooking the garden, while the generous kitchen has space for everyday dining and the potential to become a lovely sociable heart to the home.
Outside is where this property really comes into its own.
Mature gardens wrap around the house, creating an unusually generous amount of outdoor space with established lawns, planting and different areas to enjoy throughout the day.
A private driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the attached garage, which also offers useful storage and includes an inspection pit.
The detached footprint and size of the plot may also appeal to anyone considering further reconfiguration or extension, subject to the necessary permissions.
This is a home with good proportions, plenty of outside space and the freedom to evolve over time - all within easy reach of Brighton, the coast and the South Downs.
