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
An exceptional newly built country residence of considerable scale, extending to over 9,100 sq ft, positioned on one of the most sought-after roads in the county, with far-reaching views across open countryside towards Benton Hall Golf & Country Club.
Wickham Manor creates an immediate sense of arrival. Designed with architectural presence at the forefront, with grand proportions enhanced by superb views and outlooks.
A gated approach leads to a substantial forecourt and quadruple garaging with a self-contained studio annexe above, ideal for guests, staff or independent living.
The main house is arranged over three floors, with a clear emphasis on design and quality of finish.
The ground floor is centred around a striking, bespoke elliptical staircase; an architectural focal point that sets the tone for the entire home.
Large-format Porcelanosa tiling flows through the principal spaces, complemented by underfloor heating and a bespoke lighting scheme.
The main living areas are generous and well-balanced, with a feature log burner anchoring the principal reception room.
The kitchen/breakfast/living space is designed for both day-to-day living and entertaining.
Handmade by Kitchencraft, it features substantial quartz worktops, twin islands, Siemens studioLine appliances (including dual dishwashers), Quooker hot taps providing filtered, boiling and sparkling water, and a tall Liebherr wine fridge.
A pantry leads through to a well-equipped boot room with butler sink and doggy shower, reinforcing the practical country brief.
Upstairs, the principal suite is particularly impressive, opening onto a private balcony overlooking the rear grounds.
It is served by two separate dressing rooms and two distinct en-suite bath/shower rooms, finished to a high specification with Crosswater fittings, Ashton & Bentley bath and Dansani vanity units.
Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned, while a dedicated laundry room adds further convenience.
The second floor offers a highly versatile layout, suitable for additional bedrooms, workspace, leisure use or independent living arrangements, with excellent eaves storage and electrically operated Velux windows.
Externally, the property enjoys a commanding position with elevated views to the front and a private aspect to the rear.
The annexe above the garage provides open-plan accommodation with fully-equipped kitchen and a luxury shower room, finished to the same standard as the main house.
Specification is comprehensive, including underfloor heating throughout, air source heat pump (and gas), solar panels, Sonos integrated audio, bespoke Illuminati lighting, CCTV suite and alarm system, fibre broadband and structural provision for an internal lift.
