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
**Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow with a great size, 85ft x 55ft Garden** Situated in a desirable position with countryside literally just 'a few doors along', this big 3 Bedroom Bungalow is on the market for the first time in 40 years.
It's single-level accommodation spans 1,100sq ft and out in the impressive garden there are two substantial log cabins, one with a woodburning stove.
It has been suggested that a huge new cabin could stretch across the top of the long Garden for use as an Annexe.
The generous front Drive accommodates 3-4 cars and could also take a long mobile home or caravan as the garage is set back.
The spacious heart-of-home Kitchen/Diner has patio doors opening to the Garden, with there also the Lounge with its wood burning Stove and three DOUBLE bedrooms including the Master Bedroom, which has both a walk-through wardrobe and Ensuite Shower Room too.
There's also a separate guest WC as well as the huge Main Bathroom which features a huge walk-in shower area (perfect for the disabled).
The property requires some updating but offers tremendous potential. Notably, in 2004 planning permission was granted for a chalet conversion although this was never implemented in the end.
Grange Road shops are just a 7 minute walk away, South Green School is 0.3 mile and St Peters Roman Catholic School is 0.6 mile.
Two excellent pub/restaurants are both within 10 minute walks and Billericay High Street, Waitrose and Station (London 35 mins) are only a mile away, plus there are very good bus connections around the area.
