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
An exceptional, high-specification coastal home moments from the sea.
Re-modelled and extensively extended to create an outstanding family residence, this superb detached home combines striking contemporary design, luxurious finishes and wonderfully versatile accommodation — all just a short stroll from Southwold's iconic seafront and pier.
Set discreetly back from the road, the property has been transformed by the present owners through an ambitious programme of remodelling and extension.
The result is an impressive, beautifully finished home designed around modern family living, entertaining and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
At its heart is a spectacular open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, multiple rooflights and expansive sliding doors opening directly onto the full-width rear terrace.
This is a wonderfully light and sociable space, perfectly suited to both relaxed family life and entertaining on a grand scale.
The bespoke Rotpunkt kitchen is a real statement, combining polished marble worktops, striking artistic tiled detailing and a generous island with breakfast bar.
A superb range of integrated Siemens and Miele appliances, including multifunction ovens, induction hob, dishwasher and a Quooker boiling and filtered water tap, reinforces the exceptional specification throughout.
The accommodation is both generous and highly flexible.
A superb ground-floor bedroom suite features a vaulted ceiling, rooflight, fitted mirrored wardrobes and sliding doors to the terrace, complemented by a luxurious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and separate bath.
The ground floor also offers a stylish sitting room with three sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the front garden, along with a study which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, together with a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
In total, the house offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms and flexible space for a fifth bedroom/home office.
Quality is evident throughout, from the porcelain flooring and extensive tiling to the contemporary sanitaryware and bespoke fittings.
Underfloor heating serves the entire ground floor and all bathrooms, ensuring year-round comfort, while the carefully considered layout provides an exceptional balance of style, practicality and versatility.
Outside, the property continues to impress.
A wide gateway opens onto a generous block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking, with power already installed for the potential addition of electric gates.
The enclosed front garden is richly planted with exotic and architectural planting, while to the rear a substantial raised terrace spans the full width of the house, ideal for summer entertaining.
Steps descend to the established garden, beautifully stocked with flowering plants, shrubs, specimen fruit trees and an attractive ornamental pond with water feature.
Completing the garden is a Rhino greenhouse with power and lighting, together with external lighting, water and electricity.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, high-specification coastal home of exceptional quality, combining approximately 2,370 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation, established gardens and excellent parking, all within moments of the beach, pier and amenities of this iconic Suffolk seaside town.
