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
Quote RT0654 when calling to view. Calls answered 24/7. What If Your Next Home Came With A Ready-Made Social Life? Move to 'The Lawns' and you can make new friends without even putting your coat on.
There’s always something going on in the resident’s lounge, but you’ve got your own place, with your own parking space and a private patio of your own.
Let’s face it - buying an over 55’s flat in 2026 doesn’t mean you’re over the hill.
If anything, “on the way out” is more likely to mean heading into town to catch up with friends or pulling on your walking boots for a bracing Hartswood woodland walk.
This is retirement living without the lazy clichés.
No “idyllic hideaways” for your “golden years” - just a neat and tidy ground floor flat, in a popular part of Brentwood, with a few added extras that means life can carry on at your own pace.
There are no stairs to climb. No upper chain to slow things down. And no need to worry about cutting the grass - the landscaped communal grounds are looked after for you.
Inside, there’s a lounge with an electric fire and TV point, a practical fitted kitchen, a comfortable double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a clean & tidy wet room style shower room with a walk-in shower.
The apartment can be sold furnished, if that makes it easier for you. The Lawns has a resident House Manager, a 24-hour emergency Careline system, and a sociable residents’ lounge if you fancy a chat.
There’s even a library, laundrette and a guest suite if the family wants to stay over.
And being on the ground floor with your own access to the landscaped communal gardens, you can come and go as you please.
The location’s a winner - close to Hartswood ancient woodland, King George’s Playing Fields and Thorndon Park Golf Club.
It’s around a mile from the station (with Elizabeth Line trains into Central London that take just over an hour) and only a little bit further on to the High Street, with Sainsbury’s, M&S and plenty of places to eat and drink.
If you want to stay independent but tap into a ready-made social life, this chain free apartment is definitely worth a look. Get in touch to arrange a viewing. Quote RT0654 when calling to view.
