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
An extended three bedroom semi-detached chalet bungalow, enjoying an elevated position with stunning panoramic views across the South Downs towards the Chattri Memorial and Green Ridge Windmill, while offering versatile accommodation, excellent outside space and a highly useful detached annexe.
The ground floor provides a well-balanced arrangement of living space, centred around a comfortable living room with a feature log-burner creating an attractive focal point.
To the rear, the contemporary kitchen is fitted with sleek handleless units and enjoys views over the garden, while an adjoining conservatory provides additional space and direct access outside.
Two bedrooms are positioned on this level, together with a ground floor shower room and useful built-in storage.
Occupying the first floor, the impressive principal bedroom makes the most of the property's elevated position, with two sets of French doors opening to a Juliet balcony and framing far-reaching countryside views.
A family bathroom serves this level, while useful eaves storage provides further practicality.
Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight, extending to approximately 100ft in length and offering a variety of lawned, planted and seating areas designed to capture the sun throughout the day.
A shared driveway leads to a detached single garage, while the front of the property is enhanced by an attractive lawned garden.
A further standout feature is the detached annexe, fitted with power, lighting, a kitchenette and its own shower room, providing an incredibly versatile space for guests, home working, hobbies or ancillary accommodation.
The property also benefits from solar panels, helping to contribute towards reduced utility costs, and offers approximately 969 sq ft of main internal accommodation, excluding the garage, annexe and eaves storage.
Overall, this is a highly adaptable home combining generous accommodation, exceptional views and substantial outside space.
