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
Nationwide Residential & commercial are delighted to offer this rare refurbishment opportunity on an exceptional plot of approximately quarter of an acre – Freehold.
Occupying a remarkably long and mature plot, with open views across neighbouring fields, Caronvale is a substantial three-bedroom detached chalet-style residence offering considerable scope for refurbishment, reconfiguration and possible extension, subject to the necessary consents.
The Property Caronvale presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a detached home occupying a substantial plot within the semi-rural surroundings of Stapleford Abbotts.
The property has been held as a family home and now requires refurbishment and modernisation.
Its generous accommodation, extensive grounds and useful outbuildings provide an excellent foundation from which a purchaser can create a distinctive long-term home tailored to their own requirements.
The existing accommodation extends over two floors and includes a welcoming entrance hall, an impressive living and dining space, a kitchen with room for dining, a ground-floor shower room, three first-floor bedrooms and a further shower room.
The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, with fitted wardrobes and double doors opening onto a private sun terrace overlooking the garden and surrounding greenery.
While the property requires investment, its proportions and setting offer substantial potential.

Living/Dining Room 445" × 121" (13.54m × 3.68m) A particularly spacious reception area extending through much of the house.

Ground-Floor Shower Room 80" × 73" (2.44m × 2.21m) Comprising a walk-in shower, wash-hand basin and WC.
First Floor Principal Bedroom 193" × 96" (5.87m × 2.90m) A generously proportioned principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and double doors opening onto a private sun terrace overlooking the extensive rear garden and beyond.
Bedroom Two 133" × 95" (4.04m × 2.87m) A good-sized double bedroom with a window to the front elevation.
Bedroom Three 133" × 73" (4.04m × 2.21m) A further bedroom with a window to the front elevation.

The property stands on a substantial, mature plot estimated at approximately a quarter of an acre.
Based upon mapping imagery, the plot is approximately 82–89 metres deep, with a frontage of around 11 metres, widening to approximately 16 metres towards the rear.
The rear garden is principally laid to lawn and contains an established collection of mature trees, shrubs and planting.
Its exceptional depth creates a strong sense of privacy and space, while the outlook towards neighbouring fields enhances the property-s semi-rural character.
To the front is off-street parking, with side access continuing towards the garage and rear garden.
Double-Length Garage 330" × 87" (10.06m × 2.62m) A substantial garage approached by the driveway and also accessible from the garden.

Road access to the M25 and A12 is within a comparatively short drive, while local bus services provide connections towards Romford and Harold Wood, including Elizabeth line services into central London and towards Heathrow Airport.
