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
Stunning character residence set on a stunning 300 ft plot along quiet country lane.
Set along a peaceful country lane, this substantial character family home enjoys a beautiful 280ft rear garden and is ideally positioned between the highly sought-after villages of Burnham, Southminster, and Althorne.
All three villages offer railway stations with direct services to London Liverpool Street, making the property well suited to commuters.
The deceptively spacious accommodation begins with a side entrance leading into two bright and welcoming reception areas, alongside an impressive refitted kitchen and utility room.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and an attractive luxury four piece family bathroom.
The principal bedroom also benefits from built in storage and a potential dressing area.
The second floor then offers an impressively sized loft room which over the years has been used primarily as office space but would also be well suited to use as a 4th bedroom (stpp).
Outside, the standout feature is the exceptional 280ft rear garden, offering a wonderful array of seating & entertaining areas, a water feature, two covered operating wells, established and mature shrubs and plants throughout and versatile outbuildings.
The property also benefits from off road parking to the front for one vehicle with further parking available at the rear (accessed via Scarborough Road).
With its desirable location, generous accommodation, and impressive outdoor space, this is a home that is likely to attract significant interest. Early viewing is highly recommended.
