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
Positioned in a highly sought-after central village location, this detached family home offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a property tailored to their own taste and requirements.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, Wakelin Chase is a home with excellent potential, generous accommodation and a particularly appealing garden setting.
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious living room extending to approximately 25'6" in length, a separate kitchen, useful study and downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for a growing family, couple or those seeking additional space for working from home.
The property does require modernisation, but this presents a fantastic opportunity to update and improve the home while adding your own style and potentially enhancing its long-term appeal.
The generous living room provides a versatile central space, while the separate study is ideal as a home office, playroom or occasional fourth bedroom depending on individual needs.
Outside, the property benefits from ample off-street parking, making it particularly practical for a family household and visitors.
To the rear is a private, unoverlooked garden, offering a peaceful and secluded setting with excellent scope for landscaping, entertaining or simply enjoying outdoor space in warmer months.
The detached garage provides valuable additional storage or parking, with further potential for those looking to maximise the property's existing footprint, subject to any necessary permissions.
Its central Ingatestone position is a major attraction, placing village amenities, shops, restaurants, local services and transport connections within convenient reach.
The location combines the convenience of village living with excellent access to the surrounding countryside and wider commuter routes.
Wakelin Chase represents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached home in such a well-connected village setting, with the freedom to modernise and create a property perfectly suited to modern family life and enjoyment.
With its generous accommodation, private garden, parking, garage and no onward chain, an early viewing is strongly recommended.
Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support: A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
The service also provides access to an unlimited legal advice helpline staffed by qualified solicitors to assist with any questions you may have during your moving journey, and Mover Protection which is designed to help recoup certain costs if your sale or purchase should fail to complete through no fault of your own (terms and limits apply).
