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
Occupying a peaceful first-floor position within the well-regarded Martens Place development in the heart of Farncombe, this generously proportioned two-bedroom apartment presents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike.
Extending to approximately 695 sq ft including the garage (594 sq ft of internal accommodation), the property enjoys bright, well-balanced living space, its own private rear garden, a garage, residents' parking and is offered to the market with no onward chain.
The apartment is approached via an impressive communal entrance hall, shared with just one other apartment.
Featuring exposed brickwork, a vaulted ceiling with skylights and generous space for seating, shoes and everyday storage, it provides a welcoming first impression before reaching the apartment's private front door.
Stepping inside, a spacious central hallway, finished with plush grey carpeting which continues throughout much of the apartment, provides access to all principal rooms.
A useful cloakroom/WC adds further practicality for both residents and visitors.
Positioned to one end of the apartment is the bright dual-aspect sitting/dining room, a well-proportioned reception space enjoying windows to two elevations which fill the room with natural light whilst providing ample space for both comfortable seating and a dining table.
Adjacent, the modern fitted kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a range of contemporary units complemented by stone-effect worktops, attractive tiled splashbacks and wood-effect flooring.
An integrated oven with gas hob and extractor hood is accompanied by space for additional appliances, while a rear-facing window provides a pleasant outlook.
The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room benefitting from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, cupboards and dressing storage, allowing excellent practicality without compromising floor space.
Bedroom two is another well-sized room featuring fitted shelving together with built-in storage, making it equally suitable as a guest bedroom, nursery or home office.
Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
The property also enjoys access communal gardens, which are predominantly laid to lawn with paved seating areas, complemented by mature shrubs, established planting and trees beyond, providing a pleasant outdoor setting to enjoy throughout the year.
Further benefits include a private garage located within a nearby block, additional residents' parking, gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
