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
Tucked away in a quiet Ovingdean cul-de-sac, this is a wonderfully versatile link-detached home with generous living space, a sunny south-westerly garden and far-reaching sea views from the first floor.
The house has been a much-loved family home for around 40 years, and its flexible layout offers plenty of scope to adapt the space to suit its next owners.
An entrance porch, complete with useful coat storage, opens into a dining room overlooking the established front garden.
Beyond, the main living room forms the heart of the house, with an open staircase to the first floor and sliding doors leading into the conservatory.
Enjoying sunshine for much of the day, the conservatory is a particularly lovely place to sit and opens directly onto the garden.
The separate kitchen is fitted with wooden cabinetry, an integrated Bosch oven and gas hob, breakfast bar and space for freestanding appliances, with additional access to the side of the house.
Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, together with a shower room and adjoining dressing area, creating an excellent arrangement for guests, older children or anyone looking for predominantly ground-floor living.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom sits at the rear, with built-in wardrobes and a large window framing views towards the sea.
The second bedroom also benefits from built-in storage, including an airing cupboard with immersion heater, and has ample space for a desk or home-working area.
A family bathroom and boarded, insulated walk-in loft space with electric light complete the floor.
Outside, the sunny south-westerly rear garden is wonderfully secluded, with established planting, raised beds, a greenhouse, fish pond and garden shed.
A driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the garage, which has an electric door and further access directly into the garden.
