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
Welcome to The Drive - where space, potential and lifestyle meet. A spacious detached bungalow enjoying an attractive cul-de-sac setting in the popular market town of Hailsham.
Bright and welcoming, this home offers flexible single-level living with the potential to grow - planning permission (WD/2024/2129/LDP - 13-09-2024) has already been granted for a loft conversion adding two more bedrooms, en-suites, and a bathroom.
The accommodation includes a light-filled lounge and a generous conservatory that flows seamlessly into the established rear garden.
Outside you'll find a paved patio - ideal for alfresco dining - while gardeners will delight in the side garden, currently set out as a vegetable plot.
To the front, a wide driveway provides off-road parking leading to a double garage, perfect for secure parking, storage or hobbies. Good news for buyers - there's no onward chain here.
That means one less link in the process and a more straightforward path to your new front door.
Hailsham is a friendly, bustling market town offering the best of both worlds - a strong sense of community with excellent amenities on your doorstep, and glorious Wealden countryside in easy reach.
The high street is home to a mix of independent retailers, cafés, pubs and supermarkets, while regular markets add to the town's vibrant character.
There are well-regarded schools, healthcare facilities, leisure centre and a calendar of community events that bring residents together throughout the year.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Cuckoo Trail is a must.
This popular 14-mile traffic-free path winds from Heathfield through Hailsham to Polegate, following the old railway line through peaceful countryside - perfect for walking, cycling or a family day out.
Polegate railway station is just 3.5 miles down the road, offering regular services to Eastbourne, Lewes, Brighton and London Victoria - making commuting possible.
Meanwhile, the golden beaches, elegant promenades and iconic landmarks of Eastbourne are within easy reach for weekend adventures.
From the Victorian pier and Bandstand to the breathtaking chalk cliffs of Beachy Head, the coast is never far away.
