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.

The Property Occupying a handsome period building and accessed via its own private street entrance, this remarkable residence extends to approximately 3,600 sq ft and is arranged over two impeccably planned floors.
The property has undergone a comprehensive, design-led refurbishment, resulting in a home that marries elegant contemporary living with the finest original Georgian detailing.

An elegant dining room sits alongside a bespoke, fully fitted kitchen, centred around a substantial island and supported by a pantry and guest cloakroom.
Collectively, these spaces create a home equally suited to large-scale entertaining and refined day-to-day living.
The lower ground floor is dedicated to private accommodation and comprises four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with extensive built-in storage, walk-in wardrobes and luxurious en-suite bathrooms.
A dedicated utility room, along with further storage areas, enhances the practicality of the layout, while a private courtyard provides a rare and valuable outdoor space in the heart of central London.
