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
Tenure: Leasehold 56A Spitalfield Lane is a two-bedroom flat occupying the first and second floors of a handsome Victorian semi-detached house on the eastern side of Chichester city centre.

The flat is entered at ground floor level via a private hallway with stairs rising to the first floor landing.
On the first floor, the sitting room is a generous space measuring 15'5 x 13'9, with recessed LED lighting, carpet and an original ornate fireplace surround - a period feature that gives the room real character.
The kitchen is fitted with sage-green shaker-style cabinetry, quartz worktops, an integrated oven, induction hob and extractor, with open metal shelving above and a side-facing window providing natural light.
A second bedroom on this floor measures 9'1 x 7'3 and works well as a single room, home office or dressing room.

The room has a characterful vaulted ceiling line with two Velux roof lights providing good natural light, an electric panel radiator and useful eaves storage to one side.
Outside, the property benefits from a private rear garden laid to lawn, enclosed by timber fencing with a rear gate.
A private gravel off-street parking space is situated to the rear of the building, accessed from Melbourne Road.
