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 £550,000 - £600,000 Properties at this price and quality are rarely brought to market within the beautiful village of Higham.
The Braes is a superb, 4-bedroom and detached family home, set on a spacious end of road plot within a quiet cul-de-sac, located just on the ever-popular and highly desirable Telegraph hill.
From the moment you approach the home, you are met by a handsome property that has ample curb appeal along with a generous block paved drive, with flower beds that are encased within lovely brick walls.
At dusk, the house is illuminated with automated drive and LED wall-lights, there is a handy, hardwired Ring doorbell, along with a high-quality CCTV system and a solid, multi locked front door.
As soon as you enter the home, you are met with an abundance of natural light, space, exceptional workmanship and a well-designed layout that is mirrored throughout the entire home.
Entering the front entrance, to the left is a fine quality and useful ground floor WC, to the right is a very generous storage cupboard for all your jackets, shoes, backpacks, parcels and more.
Moving forward, you are greeted with a stunning kitchen & breakfast room with a large island, bar stools, branded appliances, vast amounts of handy cupboards space, well-proportioned levels of worktops and underfloor heating.
There is so much space that the owners have managed to incorporate a nice play area with seating, TV and large window that floods the area with sunshine.
It’s a brilliant space for hosting friends and family, all while you cook, drink, feast, chat, while keeping a close eye on the kids.
And if that was not enough space, you have a separate, yet substantial utility room, which some would be happy as a traditional kitchen size.
This handy area has ample room with a washing machine, a tumble dryer, an additional freezer, cupboard space galore, additional work surfaces and the most impressive boiler, mega flow, electric configuration/installation and network setup, one might find in a house of this price point.
Back through to the kitchen, the home follows into a rather large, open planned Sitting room that was made for entertaining.
A large dining area and table, huge TV, coffee table and good-sized corner sofa, fail to remotely fill the space.
It’s all finished with beautiful fixtures, fittings, engineered wood flooring & mood lighting.
There is a large set of sliding doors to the rear of the room that open into a pristine, landscaped garden, with a good-sized patio area, storage shed, a palm tree (yes, a palm tree….) and a good sized, upper level, decked area along with a fixed pergola so you can enjoy, all year round.
Back into the sitting room and up a wide set of stairs, you reach the first-floor landing, with more storage, 4 double bedrooms and a very impressive family bathroom, complete with high-quality sanitaryware, a large bath and shower which are both, remote controlled!
The bathroom has a beautiful tiled floor, even more storage and a large, fixed mirror with LED mood lighting. The master bedroom is spacious, light and benefits from a well-equipped ensuite.
The 3 additional bedrooms are clean, airy and benefit from soft carpet and double glazed, modern windows which extend to every area of the home.
The best way to appreciate this property is to see it in the flesh. This is a meticulously extended and fully renovated, family home which is incredibly well presented.
Nothing to really do, one can just move in and start enjoying all this wonderful home and friendly village, has to offer.
