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
Set within an exclusive gated development of just two homes, opposite the picturesque Wintry Wood and within walking distance of Epping high street and Central Line station, this exceptional four double bedroom detached home sets the standard for modern luxury living.
Welcome to Philgate Place. Completed in 2024, this beautifully interior-designed turnkey home extends to approximately 2,017 sq ft.
The current owners have done an outstanding job in enhancing its features, with bespoke joinery, an architect-designed garden and a range of smart, motorised and security upgrades.
Across the ground floor find herringbone lvt flooring and underfloor heating, with an expansive hallway that opens into a wonderful open-plan kitchen, living and dining space.
The Schmidt kitchen comes with quartz worktops, Siemens appliances and a Quooker boiling tap, with bluetooth ceiling speakers spanning the whole open-plan area.
Awash with natural light, the living space is anchored by a bespoke fitted media unit, and two sets of bi-fold doors with electric motorised blinds.
The bay windows are fitted with one-way privacy blinds, letting light in, views out, whilst keeping the room private.
A cloakroom and a handy office/playroom complete the floor, along with a generous utility room housing a separate Siemens washing machine and tumble dryer, a sink and side access.
What’s more, panasonic air conditioning is fitted across all three floors, paired with an air source heat pump. Upstairs find four double bedrooms.
Three sit on the first floor, the largest with a bespoke dressing area and its own ensuite, while the other two are currently styled as a vanity room and a home office - with the office unit designed to convert to a bed as and when you need it.
The family bathroom is finished beautifully with floor-to-ceiling tiling, a walk-in rainfall shower and a substantial Lusso Stone freestanding tub.
The entire second floor is given over to the primary suite. All 548 sq ft of it, giving it the feel and proportions of a hotel suite.
There’s a large ensuite, fitted wardrobes and dressing area, generous storage and electric motorised Velux and window blackout blinds which can be paired with your alarm clock, so mornings start that little bit easier.
Outside, traditional construction meets a Portland stone and zinc exterior, the same stone chosen for St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace, blending modern detail with established design.
The architect-designed rear garden is virtually maintenance-free, with an extended Loki Italian sandstone terrace, raised artificial lawn over dog-friendly underlay, automated irrigation system, designer lighting and a Schiedel volcanic pumice outdoor kitchen.
The extensive, well-lit driveway gives 2 off-street parking spaces with an Ohme Pro car charging point, and five CCTV cameras pair with the home’s smart security system.
Notably, this home owns the freehold to the driveway, parking areas and gates.
The neighbouring house holds a right of way over the drive and contributes equally towards maintenance, so there is no service charge to pay.
If you're new to the delights of CM16, there's no doubt this well loved town will leave a lasting impression. The high street is aplenty with wonderful boutiques, cafes and shops.
Grab a coffee and a pastry from gails or Fred & Doug's, or pop into the historic Church's Butchers, with an M&S Foodhall and Tesco close by too.
Add in parks and the forest on your doorstep, great schools and the Central Line tube, and there's much to love here!
