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
Description Down a quiet lane in the Wealden countryside, two acres of woodland and orchard unfold around this home, a private country retreat with rural views from almost every window.
This 1930s house has been reimagined through an architect-designed renovation in 2024/25, doubling in size while holding on to its original character.
For families moving out of London in search of space, or those returning to the UK after years overseas, it offers exactly that shift in pace.
With Polegate station a short drive away and trains to Brighton in under 30 minutes, London Victoria in around 1 hour 20.
A dual-aspect hallway with heated Karndean flooring leads through to a snug warmed by a wood burner, and on to a triple-aspect kitchen and living space that is the true heart of the home, filled with light from French doors on two sides, and fitted with Masterclass Kensington cabinetry, Silestone worktops and new Bosch and Neff appliances.
A pantry, boot room, utility and powder room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms all look out over the surrounding countryside.
The principal suite has its own dressing room and a new en suite with a rainfall shower; the remaining three share a stylish family shower room and separate WC.
Outside is where this home distinguishes itself.
A new patio and deck trace the length of the house, looking out over gardens, the orchard, vegetable garden, summer house and fire pit, all bordered by bluebell woodland home to deer, badgers and birdlife.
There's space to spare, too for a swimming pool, chicken coops or paddock space for donkeys or ponies.
The woods themselves are a world for children to explore, with dens, treehouses and summer camping among the bluebells all within reach.
A heated, wired brick-built studio adds further flexibility as a home office, creative space, garden gym or self-contained annexe.
A carport for two, a garage and further driveway parking sit behind electric gates.
Hellingly is a quiet Wealden village, with the shops and farmers' market of Hailsham close by, the Cuckoo Trail on the doorstep, and Eastbourne's coastline and the South Downs within twenty minutes.
Polegate and Berwick stations connect directly to London Victoria and Brighton, with the A22 giving easy access to the M25 and the coast.
