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
Coming soon. The existing tenant has been offered an exciting career move and so is vacating the house in a couple of weeks. So we will return then once empty, to take fresh, updated photos.
In the meantime, the present photos are from when we had it up for rent a number of years ago, so you must allow for wear and tear (eg the shed will be taken down as it is now not as good as it was).
That said, the kitchen and bathroom are the same, just older now.
Whether you're taking your first step onto the property ladder, downsizing or looking for a buy-to-let investment, this modernised two double bedroom end terrace home offers spacious accommodation, a convenient location and excellent value for money.
Extending to approximately 786 sq ft (73 sq m), the property enjoys a bright, well-presented interior together with a 30ft rear garden.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles with built-in wardrobes, while the generous Lounge open plan to the impressive 23ft Kitchen/Diner provides plenty of everyday living space, making it a home that's larger than many would expect.
The location is equally practical. A One Stop convenience store is just a two-minute walk away for the daily essentials, while the vast Tesco Extra at Pitsea is around 0.8 miles away.
Pitsea Railway Station, with direct services to London Fenchurch Street in as little as 39 minutes, lies just over a mile from the property, and the nearby A13 provides swift road links throughout south Essex and into London.
For families, both Vange Primary School and Cherry Tree Primary School are within easy reach, while regular bus services from just around the corner connect with Pitsea, Basildon Town Centre and the railway station.
Nature lovers will also appreciate having the 30-acre Vange Hill Drive Nature Reserve literally around the corner, offering woodland walks and open green space just a minute or two from your front door.
Further benefits include uPVC double glazing throughout and gas-fired central heating, making this an excellent opportunity to purchase a well-maintained home in a highly convenient location.
