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
Detailed Description Situated on one of Buckhurst Hill's most prestigious turnings is this well presented ground floor maisonette which benefits from having its own 70ft garden.
The property offers two well appointed bedrooms, modern kitchen and bathroom along with a spacious lounge/dining room with doors opening to the garden.
Location Russell Road is a great spot, being an easy walk to the Central Line Station and the boutique shops, cafes and Waitrose at Queens Road.
State and independent schools, including the highly regarded St Johns Primary School, are also close by.
Buckhurst Hill is a popular choice being conveniently located for access to the City and West End, whilst being a quieter location with Epping Forest on the doorstep.

The principal reception room is a great size room with ample space for both dining and sitting areas, a particular feature being the original parquet flooring which has been retained.

The two bedrooms are well appointed double rooms, served by a contemporary shower room, beautifully styled with a white suite and complementary metro tiling.
