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
A spacious and welcoming three bedroom detached bungalow in Lawford, Manningtree, offering approximately 1,074 sq ft of versatile single-storey accommodation.
Highlights include an impressive 19 foot living room, bright sunroom overlooking the garden, multi-car-driveway, and modern kitchen and bathroom, and a private enclosed rear garden.
Conveniently positioned for Manningtree and its mainline railway station.
Set back from the road behind a generous driveway, this spacious detached bungalow in Lawford offers approximately 1,074 sq ft of bright and versatile single-storey accommodation, with a lovely private garden and plenty of flexibility for modern living.
Inside, the home has an immediately welcoming feel.
At its heart is the impressive 18'8" living room, a comfortable and beautifully proportioned space with a feature fireplace and doors opening into the adjoining sunroom.
Filled with natural light and looking directly onto the garden, the sunroom creates a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the outlook throughout the year.
The separate kitchen offers plenty of storage and workspace as well as room for a breakfast table, while the adjoining utility room is a particularly useful addition, providing further practical space and direct access outside.
One of the real strengths of the bungalow is its flexible bedroom accommodation. There are three established bedrooms, one of which would make an ideal study or single room.
The principal bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, while the modern bathroom has been stylishly updated with a generous walk-in shower and vanity unit. Outside, the property continues to impress.
To the front is a large private driveway providing ample off-road parking, softened by mature trees and planting which give the bungalow an attractive, established setting.
The enclosed rear garden feels wonderfully private and offers a combination of lawn, established planting and a paved terrace immediately outside the house.
With the sunroom opening directly onto the terrace, there is a natural flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces, making it ideal for summer dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in the garden.
Location Lawford is a popular village adjoining Manningtree, offering local amenities, well-regarded schooling at Manningtree High School and excellent rail links from Manningtree station, with direct services to London.
