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 £360,000 - £370,000 | First Time to Market in 38 Years | Driveway | Three Bedrooms | Beautiful Garden | Southchurch Village First time to the market in an impressive 38 years, this much-loved three-bedroom Victorian home occupies a sought-after position on Branksome Road in the heart of Southchurch Village.
Offering generous room sizes, driveway parking, a beautiful established rear garden and excellent potential to further improve or extend, the property is priced to sell with a Guide Price of £360,000-£370,000.
The current owners have clearly enjoyed their time here, maintaining and improving the house over nearly four decades.
They are now downsizing and have found an onward property, putting them in a position to offer a potentially quick and straightforward sale.
A dropped kerb provides the increasingly valuable benefit of off-road parking directly in front of the house, while a modern entrance porch opens into a generous hallway.
Immediately off the hall is a useful storage area with direct access to the rear garden.
This offers particularly interesting potential to create a generous ground-floor WC while still retaining useful under-stairs storage, as neighbouring properties have done.
The ground floor has a lovely natural flow. At the front is the bay-windowed living room measuring approximately 4.11m x 3.68m, with high ceilings and excellent natural light.
Sliding doors connect this room with the generous dining room behind.
Measuring approximately 4.06m x 3.48m, the dining room provides excellent space for family dining and entertaining, with pleasant views towards the rear garden.
From here, the accommodation flows directly into the modern eat-in kitchen, another real strength of the house.
Measuring approximately 4.97m x 2.66m, it is a genuine family-sized kitchen with dual-aspect windows and patio doors opening straight onto the garden.
The kitchen provides extensive cupboard and worktop space, a five-ring gas hob, electric oven and modern downlighting, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher.
The dimensions also allow space for either an American-style fridge/freezer or a breakfast table and chairs, depending on how a buyer chooses to use the room.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to an impressively sized, boarded loft, giving excellent additional storage and potential for buyers to explore further possibilities, subject to the usual consents.
The principal bedroom measures approximately 3.71m x 3.20m and enjoys the attractive front bay window, with ample room for a king-size bed, wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture.
Bedroom Two is another excellent double at approximately 3.48m x 2.99m, overlooking the rear garden, while Bedroom Three provides a useful single bedroom, children’s room or dedicated home office.
The family bathroom is particularly practical and measures approximately 2.36m x 2.31m.
It incorporates an excellent range of fitted cupboards, a double-ended bath with shower and screen, heated towel rail and part-tiled walls. The garden is another major selling point.
Generous, established and wonderfully private, it combines a patio directly outside the kitchen with a large lawn, vibrant planted borders and mature greenery.
At the far end is a substantial summerhouse, creating a great additional space for relaxing, hobbies or entertaining. There is also further potential to extend alongside the kitchen.
Neighbouring homes have utilised this area to create additional accommodation, giving buyers an obvious opportunity to explore a similar extension under permitted development or planning, as applicable and subject to the necessary consents.
Further benefits include high ceilings, full double glazing, gas central heating and excellent storage throughout.
Branksome Road is a particularly attractive residential road within Southchurch Village, conveniently positioned for Southchurch Road’s shops and amenities, supermarkets, Southend City Centre, local parks, well-regarded schools and excellent transport links.
With its driveway, generous Victorian proportions, three bedrooms, impressive kitchen, beautiful garden and clear potential to add further accommodation, this is an increasingly difficult combination to find in Southchurch Village.
Homes on Branksome Road are always popular, and at £360,000-£370,000 early viewing is strongly recommended.
