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 substantial 3 storey property within sight and sound of Folkestone's Grade II Listed viaduct, constructed in 1843 and considered a significant engineering feat of its time.
Rooms to the rear upper floor enjoy an ever changing view over the town with a view of the English Channel in the far distance.
At garden level the property has a sitting room with bay window to the front along with a kitchen/breakfast room to the rear.
To the ground floor there is a double bedroom with bay window, single bedroom and bathroom. To the first floor there are two further double bedrooms.
Some of the rooms have exposed stripped pine floor boards along with original period fireplaces. There is a handy lean to workshop accessed via double opening doors from the kitchen.
This provides access to the lawned rear garden.
The property is in a no through road that is perfectly placed for access to Folkestone Central railway station, the town centre and within walking distance of Folkestone Harbour.
