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
15 The Mallards is a chain free three bedroom detached home set on a popular and well established development in the village of Lakenheath.
Offering a garage, private driveway and a bright conservatory, the property provides a solid footprint with plenty of scope for improvement.
The ground floor features a spacious living room, a kitchen with good storage potential, and a conservatory that opens onto the rear garden.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, making it a practical layout for a range of buyers.
The rear garden is westerly facing, mainly laid to lawn and enjoys an attractive outlook over the river.
While the property would benefit from general updating (has been recently redecorated), it presents an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to put their own stamp on a home in a desirable location.
Lakenheath itself is a thriving village with a strong community, a range of local amenities and ongoing investment.
The new primary school currently being built will further enhance the village’s appeal, particularly for families looking for long term stability and good local facilities.
