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 four bedroom detached family home, in a quiet cul de sac in the popular village of Mersham, which has a village school, and is great for commuting being a short drive away from Ashford International station.
Papaver is an impressive detached property, traditional in style but has been tastefully modernised by the current owners, to offer an impressive open plan living/dining area leading to a large separate kitchen.
Maintained to a high standard throughout, this is ready for someone to move straight into and make it their village home.
In this quiet close the property has an attractive frontage, with parking for two cars on the drive.
Enter into the front door where there is a spacious hallway, and a downstairs cloakroom, and to the right enter into the large open plan area, bathed in light from the large windows to the front and patio doors to the rear.
Wooden flooring also makes this area feel spacious but plenty of rugs and a modern log burner makes for cosy winter evenings too.
This L shaped room gives a zoned space for the dining area and just slide open the doors to bring the outside into play for those summer social gatherings.
A door leads from both the dining area and the hallway to the kitchen, which is spacious and has a breakfast bar for those quick coffee breaks or morning breakfasts.
There is a range of stylish grey cupboards with white work surfaces, and a tap providing instant boiling water.
To the side is a practical and spacious utility room which has plumbing for appliances, more storage, sink and access to the side of the property.
Upstairs, the property has been thoughtfully designed with four double bedrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower and there is a modern family bathroom.
Again the use of large windows upstairs gives a feeling of space and light.
Outside there is parking for two cars on the driveway and a garage, currently being used as a gym area, but great for further storage or secure parking if desired.
Flanders Field is located close to the centre of Mersham and a short stroll to the village shop/coffee shop, and also one of the village pubs, The Royal Oak.
Nearby are so many lovely countryside walks via the many footpaths in Mersham, and the Millennium green and village Primary School are a short walk.
The Farriers Arms is a popular destination with a good food offering Mersham village is about 2 miles from the M20 motorway Jct 10a providing swift access to both London via the M25 and in the opposite direction the Channel Tunnel and the Port of Dover .
The International Station is just 4 miles away providing domestic 39 minute high speed trains to London St. Pancras.
Ashford provides a choice of modern retail outlets along with leisure amenities and a selection of schools both in the state and independent sectors including grammar schools for boys and girls.
The McArthur Glenn designer outlet is on the edge of Ashford. The property has mains electricity, mains water and mains drainage. The heating is oil fired central heating. EPC rating is E
