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
A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious one-bedroom first floor apartment, benefiting from a 999-year lease, share of freehold and the rare addition of a private utility/study room.
Having undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, the property offers stylish turnkey accommodation finished to an excellent standard.
Improvements include upgraded electrics with additional power sockets, new radiators and hot water system, new flooring throughout, full redecoration and new internal doors.
Further upgrades include new smoke alarms within the flats, a new communal lighting system and new phone entry system.
The bright open-plan kitchen and living space has been designed with modern living in mind, featuring a brand-new contemporary kitchen complete with washing machine and full-size fridge/freezer, flowing seamlessly into the welcoming living area.
The generous double bedroom is complemented by a stylish new en-suite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower.
A particular advantage is the separate private utility/study room, located at the end of the communal hallway and exclusively for the use of this apartment.
This versatile space is ideal as a home office, utility area, hobby room or additional storage.
Ideally positioned on the popular St James Road, the property is within walking distance of Alexandra Park, Hastings town centre, the mainline railway station, seafront and a fantastic selection of shops, cafés and restaurants.
