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
*Initial offers are invited in the region £825,000 to £850,000* An extended, bright and spacious three bedroom detached house, situated on a very large plot that measures 0.194 acre.
This property is ideally located; within 0.8 mile of Shenfield mainline railway station and easy reach of good local schools.
The house extends to 1,810 square feet of well planned family accommodation with the property flanked by open views of surrounding fields and woodland beyond.
This family home has been extended on the ground floor to provide a larger and more welcoming entrance hall and a most useful ground floor shower room.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively appointed with an extensive range of units that comprise base cupboards, drawers and matching wall cabinets along three walls.
This kitchen is sufficiently large to accommodate an informal dining table and chairs. Two windows draw light from the side elevation. The kitchen is partially open to the family room.
The family room is a magnificent addition to this appealing house. Bi-folding doors seamlessly connect this living area to the 105' deep rear garden. The family room is a very versatile space.
The current owners use it as a more formal alternative dining area to the kitchen/breakfast room, though it could offer an additional sitting room or living area, depending upon individual requirements.
The sitting room is a very good size indeed. An attractive wooden flooring runs throughout and a central focal point is a feature log burner.
On the first floor level there are three well proportioned bedrooms. Two of these provide elevated views of the large rear garden and open fields and woodland beyond.
These are serviced by a tastefully fitted family bathroom. This comprises a panel enclosed bath, back to wall W.C with a concealed cistern and a vanity wash hand basin with useful cupboards below.
The walls are tiled to full ceiling height. Externally, the rear garden is a particularly attractive feature.
It measures approximately 105' in depth and has a maximum width of 53', (as measured across the rear boundary).
The garden is well screened along both side boundaries by mature hedgerow and a pathway extends the depth of the garden towards a raised garden terrace, beneath a feature pergola, that is in the sunshine throughout the entire day.
Towards the rear boundary is an outbuilding.
This building can provide a multitude of purposes, such as an office that will ideally suit those that work from home, or a home gym or games room, if desired.
A side gate adjacent to the house leads to the front garden. The front garden largely comprises a brick paviour carriage driveway that offers spacious off street parking.
To the centre is a large shingle area, planted with ornamental trees and screened from the lane by hedgerow. The driveway leads to the double garage.
The garage has been fitted with a recently fitted electric roller shutter door and has power and light.
It has a pitched tiled roof with additional storage space and a door that opens to the rear garden.
