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
Located in a tree-lined country lane close to the centre of Doddinghurst Village is this four-bedroom, detached house which is set well back from the road and benefits from a lovely mature rear garden and excellent off-street parking including a double length, integral garage.
The property has been well-maintained yet still offers scope for someone to put their own stamp on to create a fabulous family home in a superb setting.
'Widbrook Cottage' is within easy reach of local amenities and is just a short drive to Brentwood & Shenfield town centres where you have access to mainline train services into London and well-regarded schooling.
To the front of the property is a covered storm porch which gives access into an inner porch, which in turn opens into a spacious L-shaped hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors to all main rooms.
The property benefits from two large reception rooms, the first of which is a bright and comfortable lounge with bay window to the front and a pretty feature fireplace with wooden surround.
