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
Situated on the highly regarded and exclusive Burbidge Grove, this exceptional detached residence enjoys a prime coastal position, with the road leading directly onto Eastern Parade and onwards to Eastney Beach and the wider Southsea Seafront.
The property has been expertly extended and thoughtfully reconfigured to create a beautifully balanced and contemporary family home.
A central front door and welcoming porch open into a free-flowing reception hall, which seamlessly connects to an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room.
This stunning hub of the home is flooded with natural light, featuring windows and doors overlooking the garden and opening through to a conservatory, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living.
The kitchen itself is finished to a high specification, boasting elegant Quartz work surfaces and a substantial island unit.
To the front of the property, two well-proportioned reception rooms provide flexible living space, arranged as a refined sitting room and a formal drawing room.
A practical utility room, with both front and rear access, completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor offers a sense of space and grandeur, with a generous landing leading to four bedrooms.
One benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
A standout feature of the home is the expertly converted loft, which provides a superb principal bedroom suite.
This luxurious space includes a stylish en-suite shower room and bespoke fitted storage, while a cleverly designed dormer window incorporates a side aspect to capture a delightful glimpse of the sea.
Presented in immaculate condition throughout, the property showcases a high level of finish and attention to detail, with all bathrooms featuring classic Burlington fittings.
