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.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall, providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms and stairs rising to the first floor.
To the front is a spacious reception room measuring approximately 15'6" x 12'2".
A large curved bay window allows excellent natural light to flood the room while retaining the character associated with homes of this period, creating an attractive space for relaxing and entertaining.
The heart of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room.
Measuring approximately 15'6" x 8'10", the space has been finished in a clean contemporary style with a comprehensive range of modern cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, integrated appliances and a substantial central island providing additional preparation space, storage and informal seating.
The kitchen flows into the dining area, while French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the internal and external living spaces.
Beyond the kitchen is a separate utility room measuring approximately 6'11" x 6'0", providing further work surfaces, storage and sink facilities.
A ground-floor WC completes the downstairs accommodation. The first floor continues the excellent standard of presentation and provides three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom measures approximately 15'8" x 11'1" and enjoys a feature bay window together with fitted mirrored wardrobes, creating a bright and generous main bedroom.
The second bedroom measures approximately 13'0" x 9'8" and benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room, fitted with a modern shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

A particularly impressive feature is the family bathroom, which has been finished with contemporary large-format tiling and comprises a panelled bath with shower attachment and screen, wall-mounted WC, modern vanity unit and illuminated mirror.
Externally, the property truly distinguishes itself with an exceptional rear garden measuring approximately 90ft in length.
The garden provides a substantial amount of outside space, incorporating a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, lawned areas and a large timber shed measuring approximately 11'11" x 7'7".
Gated side access provides additional convenience.
Ilfracombe Road is conveniently situated within the popular Southchurch area of Southend-on-Sea, placing a wide variety of everyday amenities, shops and schools within easy reach.
Southend East railway station provides direct services towards London Fenchurch Street, making the location particularly appealing to commuters.
