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
Occupying a plot of approximately 0.78 acres in a truly idyllic rural setting, this charming three-bedroom Grade II Listed cottage dates back to the 16th century and has been sympathetically extended to create a wonderful family home that seamlessly blends period character with modern convenience.
In addition to its peaceful countryside position, the property is ideally located for access to the A127, M25 plus Shenfield & Brentwood Railway Stations, providing direct services into London Liverpool Street & linking to the Elizabeth Line also.
The accommodation is rich in character throughout and comprises two delightful reception rooms, including a principal living room featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace, and a charming snug with a feature fireplace and exposed wattle and daub wall, showcasing the historic construction of the original listed cottage.
The well-appointed kitchen/dining room offers ample space for family dining and entertaining, complemented by an excellent range of fitted units, together with a utility room and ground floor shower room.
The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases.
The main staircase leads to the principal bedroom and adjacent family bathroom, whilst the second staircase provides access to two further bedrooms.
Externally, the property enjoys exceptional grounds that truly set it apart.
Beautiful formal gardens incorporate a gazebo and useful outbuilding, while a substantial patio terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.
Beyond are two generous lawned areas leading to a gate that opens directly onto the property's private woodland.
From here, elevated views can be enjoyed across neighbouring countryside, creating a wonderfully tranquil backdrop.
Further benefits include extensive block-paved parking for numerous vehicles and a double-width garage with a traditional clay tiled roof, perfectly complementing the property's character and surroundings.
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly special period home in a stunning setting.
Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate both the quality of the accommodation and the beauty of the grounds.
