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 generous plot along peaceful Almodington Lane on the Manhood Peninsula, Meadow View is a detached chalet bungalow offered for sale with no onward chain, offering an opportunity to acquire a property with considerable scope for improvement (STPP) in a semi-rural setting between Chichester and the West Sussex coastline.
The property has a substantial rear garden backing directly onto open farmland, with open countryside views from the first floor.
Extending to approximately 1,247 sq ft, the accommodation is well proportioned and offers scope for refurbishment and reconfiguration to suit a purchaser's own requirements.
The size and position of the plot may also appeal to those considering enlargement or redevelopment, though any such works would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
On the ground floor is a sitting room with fireplace, a separate dining room and a fitted kitchen with access into the conservatory, which overlooks the rear garden and surrounding fields.
Also on the ground floor is a third bedroom, a family bathroom and an attached workshop offering storage or potential for alternative use, subject to any necessary consents.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms, each with eaves storage and open views over the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property - a predominantly lawned plot with mature hedging to the boundaries, backing onto open agricultural land.
The front garden is also lawned, with pathway access to the front door and side access to the rear. There is the addition of off road parking for two vehicles.
The property would benefit from modernisation and updating throughout, representing a blank canvas for purchasers looking to improve and personalise a well-positioned home in a location where opportunities of this kind are relatively uncommon.
Location Meadow View sits on Almodington Lane in the rural heart of the Manhood Peninsula, the area of West Sussex that stretches south from Chichester towards Selsey and the coast.
The immediate setting is quiet and semi-rural, with open farmland and countryside views directly from the property.
The village of Earnley is nearby, with the larger village of Bracklesham and the coast at Bracklesham Bay a short drive to the south.
East Wittering, with its beach, shops, and cafes, is within easy reach, as is Selsey to the south-east.
Chichester city centre is approximately six miles to the north, offering a full range of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities, and a mainline railway station with direct services to London Victoria and Gatwick.
The A27 is accessible via Chichester for travel east towards Brighton or west towards Portsmouth and Southampton.
The Manhood Peninsula is well regarded for its open landscape, coastal access, and relative quiet, and properties in this area - particularly those with large plots and countryside outlooks - are seldom available
