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
Summary Occupying a generous corner plot in the sought-after village of Little Clacton, this detached three-bedroom bungalow presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create their ideal home.
Offering substantial outdoor space and huge scope for further enhancement.
Description The current owners have already begun a programme of improvements, providing an excellent starting point for the next owner to continue and complete the property to their own taste and specification.
A particular highlight is the recently installed air source heat pump, offering an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heating solution for the home.
Further enhancing its appeal, plans have been drawn up to convert the loft space into two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, with a staircase rising from the hallway.
This presents a fantastic opportunity to significantly increase the living accommodation and create a substantial family home, while also adding considerable value.
Outside, the generous corner plot provides ample garden space with plenty of potential for landscaping, extensions (subject to the necessary consents), or simply enjoying the outdoor surroundings.
Situated within easy reach of local amenities, schools, and transport links, this is a rare chance to acquire a property with endless possibilities in a desirable village location.
