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
Great potential with an extraordinary lakeside setting in the heart of betchworth village ......
Lakers is now offered for sale for the first time since its construction in 1961, having remained in the same family ownership ever since.
The property occupies an enviable setting in the heart of Betchworth village, enjoying a superb aspect across its established grounds of approximately 0.3 of an acre towards a beautiful lake.
The property is now in need of refurbishment and presents a rare and exciting opportunity for purchasers to renovate, reconfigure and potentially enlarge, subject to the usual consents, in order to create a highly individual home.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and was extended, we understand, during the 1980s, providing generous and flexible living space.
The layout briefly comprises an entrance hall with cloakroom and study/bedroom four.
The sitting/dining room is a particularly striking space with an abundance of windows allowing natural light to flood the interior.
The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room provides access to a balcony enjoying fine views over the lake. In addition, there is a separate utility room, boot room and family bathroom.
To the lower ground floor, a garden room leads through to the principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite.
Two further bedrooms, both with built-in storage, complete the accommodation. Externally, the attractive grounds are a most notable feature, enjoying a delightful outlook towards the lake.
A substantial raised sun terrace provides a superb space for entertaining and relaxing whilst taking full advantage of the wonderful views, with steps leading down to gardens predominantly laid to lawn with established plant and shrub borders.
To the front, a driveway provides ample parking, leading to a carport with attached garage whilst there is an also a further separate garage.
