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 stylishly-presented three-bedroom townhouse arranged over four floors, which backs onto and has St.
Nicholas Rest Gardens at its southern end, in a highly convenient city centre location, directly opposite St Paul’s C of E School and within easy reach of Brighton Station and the seafront.
Offering a well-balanced combination of character and contemporary styling, on the raised ground floor the property features a generous open-plan sitting and dining room with a bay window, marble fireplace and French doors opening onto a secluded patio garden.
There is potential to create a fourth bedroom at the front by separating the front and rear spaces, if desired, and this floor also houses a guest bathroom with shower.
The lower ground floor kitchen/family room is a wonderfully bright, sociable space with polished concrete floors, double range hob and oven, large breakfast bar and a wood-burning stove plus large, useful storage cupboard.
Upstairs on the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst the top floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom which boasts built-in wardrobes, an en-suite WC and a sunny balcony with far-reaching views across city to the sea.
Combining versatile accommodation, period features and a fantastically central location, the property is well placed for easy access to the city’s amenities, with Brighton train station just 0.3 miles distant and the seafront just over half a mile away.
Planning permission was previously granted for another room on second floor at the rear.
Outside The secluded patio garden is accessed directly from the ground floor reception, ideal as an outdoor extension to the main living space.
On the top floor, the principal bedroom enjoys access to a sunny balcony with far-reaching rooftop views towards the sea and South Downs.
Situation St Nicholas Road is a tucked-away one-way street in the very heart of Brighton, which backs onto St. Nicholas Rest Gardens public park; a surprisingly peaceful setting given its position.
Named after the historic St Nicholas Church at its southern end, where the Rest Gardens extend still further, the road is just 0.3 miles from Brighton Station, the seafront and the city's fantastic range of shops, cafés, restaurants and entertainment venues in The Lanes and the North Laine and Churchill Square.
