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
LARGE FAMILY WANTED – Guide Price £1,250,000 to £1,500,000 This superb extended five double bedroom family home is presented in excellent condition throughout and occupies a prominent corner position on Elgin Road and Meads Lane.
Ideally located close to both Seven Kings Elizabeth Line and Newbury Park Central Line stations, the property is offered chain free. This is truly an exceptional home in a highly convenient location.
The first floor offers five generously sized double bedrooms, one with a dressing room and ensuite shower, the rest all with fitted wardrobe.
There is a large family bathroom with separate shower, and a further separate WC. The spacious landing also presents excellent potential for a loft conversion subject to planning permission.
All bedrooms are bright, airy, and perfectly suited for a large or extended family. The ground floor continues to impress, boasting tall ceilings and an abundance of natural light.
A large secure entrance porch opens into a substantial hallway, which provides access to a useful cellar ideal for additional storage.
There are two generous reception rooms, with the main reception measuring 26'5" into bay x 25'2", an outstanding space for entertaining family and friends.
The beautiful integrated kitchen and diner features sleek white quartz worktops, a breakfast bar, and a spacious dining area perfect for hosting dinner parties.
A practical utility room and a stylish ground floor shower room with WC complete the downstairs layout.
This much loved property has been in the same family for approximately 70 years and has served a large household extremely well.
It has been heavily extended, meticulously maintained, and upgraded to a high specification, allowing any new owner to move in with ease without the need for further work.
Externally, the home benefits from a covered side access currently used as a plant and boiler room, housing the central heating boiler, two large pressurised hot water cylinders, a water softener, and ample storage.
This setup is particularly valuable for a home of this size, ensuring excellent water pressure and heating performance throughout.
The well landscaped rear garden offers two seating areas ideal for family barbecues and gatherings, a central lawn, and mature shrub borders, creating a peaceful setting to enjoy your morning coffee.
At the rear, a large outbuilding is currently set up as a gym but is equally suitable as a home office, playroom, or chill out space. There is also a garden store and side access from Meads Lane.
To the front, there is off street parking for multiple cars.
The location is superb, with easy access to Seven Kings Station Elizabeth Line, Newbury Park Station Central Line, outstanding primary and secondary schools, local shops, and excellent road links into and out of London, making this a perfect home for the entire family.
