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.

Whilst the main rear garden offers a high degree of privacy, as well as paved patio area, to the rear of which at present there is a gate which opens out onto an open green within Badwell Ash.
Although the property is in need of some improvement, it does offer superb opportunity for further enlargement subject to any necessary approval, by incorporating the utility/boot room and garage into a further ground floor living space.
Therefore, taking into account the superb potential that the property offers to considerably enlarge the living area as well as improve thereby adding value, along with the highly regarded and well served village in which the property is set and quiet tucked away location in which it is positioned, we are of the view the property will attract a wide range of potential purchasers, therefore would recommend an early inspection to avoid disappointment.
