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 superb opportunity to purchase this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, ideally situated within a quiet and sought-after cul-de-sac location.
Occupying a generous corner plot, the property offers excellent scope for improvement and extension, making it perfect for buyers looking to create a bespoke home tailored to their own taste (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Internally, the bungalow is in need of updating throughout, presenting a blank canvas for those wishing to modernise and add value.
The existing layout offers well-proportioned accommodation, with plenty of natural light and the flexibility to reconfigure if desired.
Externally, the property really shines, benefiting from a larger-than-average corner plot, providing ample outdoor space and exciting possibilities for expansion or landscaping.
There is also the added advantage of a garage and driveway, ensuring convenient off-road parking.
The location is another key highlight, with the property being within easy reach of Margate train station, ideal for commuters, as well as the seafront, perfect for enjoying coastal living.
Nearby, you will also find Hartsdown Park and the historic Old Town, offering a variety of independent shops, cafes, and amenities. No Chain and early viewing is highly recommended.
