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 fantastic opportunity to purchase this beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious ground floor apartment, forming part of an attractive older-style building situated within easy reach of the popular village of Rake.
More comprehensive facilities can be found in nearby Liss and Petersfield, both of which are within a convenient drive.
The property has been subject to considerable recent improvement by the current owner, who has created a wonderfully sympathetic refurbishment combining the character and proportions of the original building with a stylish contemporary finish.
High ceilings and generous room sizes enhance the feeling of space throughout, while double-glazed windows provide additional comfort and practicality.
Upon entering the apartment, you are greeted by a beautifully appointed kitchen fitted with an attractive range of stylish yet practical units, providing excellent work and storage space together with a selection of integrated appliances.
The living/dining room is particularly impressive, offering generous proportions and plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining.
An attractive log-burning stove provides a wonderful focal point to the room and further complements the warmth and character of the apartment.
The generous double bedroom enjoys a pleasant elevated outlook to the rear and benefits from an exceptionally well-designed range of floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes with sliding doors, providing an abundance of cleverly considered storage without compromising the proportions of the room.
The bathroom has also been beautifully refitted to create a stylish and relaxing space, comprising a contemporary three piece suite, complemented by carefully considered lighting and finishes.
Externally, residents enjoy the use of fabulous communal gardens, which provide an attractive setting to the building and a genuine sense of community.
The apartment also benefits from its own external storage shed and, unusually for a property of this type, two allocated parking spaces.
Further benefits include a share of the freehold together with an exceptionally long lease, providing additional peace of mind for the incoming purchaser.
Altogether, this is a superb apartment which successfully combines the charm and proportions of an older property with a high-quality contemporary interior.
The exceptional space, thoughtful refurbishment, two parking spaces and attractive communal setting make this a particularly appealing and unusual opportunity. Chichester District Council.
