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 fantastic semi detached bungalow captures everything that makes this particular road so desirable.
Set behind its own drive leading to a garage, the home immediately offers a sense of convenience and privacy.
The rear garden is a standout feature, generous in size, beautifully open, and backing directly onto fields, creating a peaceful and uninterrupted outlook that is increasingly rare.
Inside, the bungalow follows the traditional and much loved layout these homes are known for.
There are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles, with the third offering flexibility for guests, a study, or hobbies.
The lounge and kitchen are positioned at the rear, allowing both spaces to enjoy views across the garden and the fields beyond.
This arrangement gives the home a calm, relaxed feel and makes the most of the natural surroundings.
The property is ideal for those seeking easy, single level living, making it a perfect choice for retirement.
At the same time, it presents an exciting opportunity for someone looking to extend and add value.
Many neighbouring homes have successfully extended either upwards or to the rear, demonstrating the potential this bungalow holds for future development (subject to planning).
The location is another major advantage. West Horndon Mainline Station is just a short stroll away, offering quick and convenient access into central London.
The combination of village tranquillity, open green views, and excellent transport links makes this home a rare and appealing find.
Overall, this bungalow offers a blend of comfort, potential, and an enviable setting, an inviting opportunity for a wide range of buyers.
