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 happy house is called Summertime: For all the joy it’s brought to the current owners for many years: Even in the winter.
Set within a private, almost secret, cul-de-sac entering opposite Church Street, containing just three houses, this grand lateral freehold has just undergone extensive internal and external refurbishment to allow a new owner to simply move in with a few suitcases.
Internally the house boasts 3 brand new bathroom suites, a new shaker style kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances fully fitted, including an American fridge freezer, dazzling wood floors throughout living / entertainment spaces and luxurious carpeting throughout bedrooms, new guaranteed, double glazing throughout and new certified electrics.
Externally the house has been ravishingly renovated: Walls have been painted and pointed perfectly; patio areas have been elegantly restored and regenerated. New fencing has been installed.
If this isn’t enough, the cool kidney shaped swimming pool set at the bottom of a beautiful rose lined, landscaped garden will take your breath away.
Located just on the outskirts of Eastbourne, 3 miles from the seaside, Willingdon is a most charming rural village which inspired George Orwell’s setting for Animal Farm.
The rolling hills of the South Downs, quaint churches, pubs and chocolate box restaurants are all a short stroll down Church Street but larger superstore shopping facilities are only a quick drive away too.
This is a fabulous family home to grow into and convenient for day education at Eastbourne College.
