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
Guide Price £1,600,000 - £1,700,000 First impressions count, and it doesn’t get much better than this.
Upon arrival at the private gates of Bramble Lodge, excitement builds for what’s to be found beyond...
A long driveway reveals itself, which leads past the immaculate front gardens to the house and triple garaging, both set back beautifully in the plot.
The property has been tastefully enhanced with no expense spared, with features such as a Mark Wilkinson kitchen; a Martin Chadder bathroom suite; impressive entrance gates; and a magnificent, bespoke swimming pool.
The grounds of approximately 1.5 acres are also sure to impress.
The combination of formal lawns, entertaining spaces and an ornamental pond truly are fit for a wedding venue, and the garaging will appeal greatly to the motoring enthusiast, or in its current form as a gym/games room.
Once inside, accommodation is centred around a wide hallway with wonderful flooring from old French Railway carriages.
From here, access is gained to a formal lounge, a further sitting room, open plan study, utility room, and the stunning kitchen with extended, glazed seating area.
The kitchen is of particular note, being crafted by Mark Wilkinson.
It is simply stunning, with hand-painted shaker units giving a modern classic feel, coupled with a range of Sub Zero appliances - simply the best.
The first floor offers luxury bedroom accommodation to include a fantastic master bedroom suite, plus four further bedrooms and a bathroom by Martin Chadder, who is recognised as one of Britain’s finest traditional luxury bathroom product designers.
Offered with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN.
