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
On a raised corner plot and set back from the road, this charming detached bungalow offers mature gardens on three sides and stunning views over Westdene towards Brighton and the sea.
It's an ideal location to relax and enjoy the sun as well as the picturesque surroundings, making it a wonderful place to call home.
The property features two bedrooms plus a handy loft room, providing ample space and potential for future extensions to add further bedrooms and bathrooms, subject to necessary permissions.
The main bedroom is generously sized at 15.9' x 14.4' and features a lovely bay window overlooking the garden.
The double-aspect lounge also benefits from the same stunning views and leads into a glazed sunroom.
Both the kitchen and bathroom are located at the rear of the property and in our opinion, would benefit from some modernisation. However, the current owner has happily lived here for over 40 years!
Additional highlights include a detached garage, extra parking space beside the home, and a new front porch.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the character, views, and location of this beautiful home!
