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
This well-maintained 2 Bedroom (both doubles) Semi-Detached Bungalow (formerly three bedrooms) offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
The Lounge features a Fireplace and sliding patio doors, the Dining Room (converted from the third bedroom) provides useful built-in storage and the fitted Kitchen comes equipped with a Rangemaster Cooker and Combination Boiler.
The Conservatory has been upgraded with a solid roof, radiator heating, and plumbing for a washing machine.
The sleeping accommodation comprises two good-size double bedrooms, with the master benefiting from fitted wardrobes, complemented by the Bathroom featuring an electric shower over the bath.
Outside, the property's is set back from the road a very 56ft - creating extensive parking and leading to an impressive 29ft x 8ft 6" Garage.
The 60ft rear garden (78ft from the Patio doors) offers two private patio areas plus additional hardstanding suitable for a shed or cabin.
While the property would benefit from some updating, it has been incredibly well cared for and presents in immaculate condition, and the high pitched roof offers bags of potential for those considering a loft conversion.
The property is conveniently located in a pleasant non-estate position close to all local amenities, including a well-stocked parade of shops literally just up the road (including a handy Tesco Express), the excellent St Peter's Catholic Primary School just 0.4 mile walk away (7 minute walk), South Green Infants & Juniors (both with good OFSTED Reports) is only half a mile (10 minute walk) and open countryside is just a 550 metres stroll too.
Billericay Mainline Railway Station is 1.6 miles away, its fast train whizzing you to London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes and the A127 (with its access to the M25 just a few miles up), is only a quick 2-mile drive too.
The Accommodation in more detail: Modern UPVC front door through to: HALL With 'Light Oak' effect laminate flooring running through into the Dining Room and Lounge.
Looking up, we see a flip down loft hatch accessing the roof space and above the front door is a discreet high-level built-in cupboard housing the electrics.
Interestingly, up in the Loft there is a skylight window and electrics (not tested).
LOUNGE 14ft 7" x 11ft (4.4m x 3.4m) A nice size yet cozy Lounge with a feature Fireplace and a wide set of sliding patio doors opening out to the private patio.
The glazed door with its accompanying side light windows between this room and the dining room creates a nice feeling of 'flow' when left open, which works particularly well when entertaining.
DINING ROOM 8ft 6" x 8ft 2" (2.6m x 2.5m) With a full height built-in storage cupboard and a side facing window.
KITCHEN 11ft 10" x 10ft 3" (3.6m x 3.1m) Fitted with a range of 'Antique Oak' style kitchen units topped with speckled Quartz effect worktops and incorporating a Rangemaster 'Professional' Range Cooker sitting below a wide Zanussi glass and stainless steel Chimney style extractor hood and with a recess for a tall Fridge/Freezer.
Up on the wall is a Glow-Worm Flexicom 30Cx Combination Boiler, and a feature tall vertical radiator provides plenty of warmth.
The original back door with its accompanying window now leads through to a good size conservatory.
CONSERVATORY 12ft x 11ft 6" (3.7m x 3.5m) A radiator running off the central heating allows the option for all year round use.
There is plumbing out here for the washing machine, as well as a couple of double power sockets and a strip light.
MASTER BEDROOM 11ft 1" x 11ft 1" (3.4m x 3.4m) A perfectly square double bedroom with two sets of fitted pine wardrobes and a handy light over the bed space.
BEDROOM TWO 11ft x 8ft 5" (3.4m x 2.6m) Another good size double bedroom.
BATHROOM 6ft x 5ft 5" (1.8m x 1.7m) With a sizable side facing window providing plenty of natural light and fitted with a modern suite including a 'ShowerBath' with a Triton 'Caselona' electric shower over the extra wide showering area.
EXTERIOR - FRONT Being set back so far from the road - some 56ft or 17m - means the property has a wealth of parking, which can extend down the side of the bungalow and up to the Double Length Garage.
GARAGE 29ft x 8ft 6" (8.84m x 2.6m) A splendid size pre-cast workshop and garage! There is a front up and over door, a side door and a couple of windows. Access on one side round to the garden.
GARDEN 60ft x 27ft (18.3m x 8.5m) The garden measures 60ft from the projecting Conservatory, 78ft from the Patio Doors where they open out to the Patio.
There is both the initial patio by the bungalow and another very private one hidden behind the Garage.
Just beyond the Garage patio is another concrete hardstanding that will take a decent size shed or cabin.
