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
A magnificent 1920’s family home surrounded by beautiful gardens, on just shy of a 1 acre plot. Fabulous views overlooking the fairways of Effingham Golf Club and situated within a Conservation Area.
Traditionally finished with both stucco and tile hanging, and diamond shaped leadlight windows, this elegant property has great character and is in a superb location for both schools and transport links to London and it’s airports.
Extending to over 4,000 sq ft, the property has fantastic accommodation split over 3 floors, with 6 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms opening onto the southerly facing garden and outdoor swimming pool.
The home has a very warm inviting feel, the drawing room has exposed wood beams, an open fire and a picture window looking south across the grounds, while the cosy sitting room has sliding doors out to the Loggia and terrace.
The kitchen-breakfast room is well appointed with sliding doors to the terrace and direct access to the utility room and back door.
Upstairs there are 6 excellent double bedrooms all with built in wardrobes, 2 of which are en-suite. 4 of the rooms have fantastic views across the gardens and golf course.
On the 2nd floor there is a substantial games room with a vaulted ceiling and open fire with chimney. There is also plenty of built in eaves storage.
The property is well set back from the road behind high hedging and set in manicured grounds with an array of mature trees, hedging and flower borders.
Facing south, a terrace runs along the back of the house with a deep garden and the golf course beyond. The open-air heated swimming pool is very well maintained with a paved surround.
There is plenty of parking on a gravel drive and an integrated double garage. There is ample space within the grounds that would lend itself to further garaging (subject to planning approval).
