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
An attractive, pre-war house offering comfortable, two bedroom accommodation with much potential, no chain and in a convenient location just half a mile from the seafront.
Summary The property forms part of three attractive houses, believed to have been designed by the acclaimed local architect, R W Sampson, in a Regency style and to give the appearance of two semi-detached houses.
Offered for sale with no ongoing chain, the property in question is the left-hand end of the three and would now benefit from some modernisation and refurbishment.
Summary (Cont..) Once inside, an entrance hallway leads to an open plan, dual aspect sitting dining room featuring a south facing bay window.
The separate kitchen has a range of fitted units with space for appliances and a wall-mounted gas combination boiler.
Beyond the kitchen is a good size conservatory, with patio doors to the rear garden and a shower room off. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
The main bedroom is particularly spacious (formerly two rooms) with south facing windows to the front aspect. There is a second double bedroom and a bathroom with good storage.
Outside To the front of the house is a low maintenance garden with flowerbeds and enjoying a south facing aspect.
A glazed door from the dining room accesses a small enclosed courtyard and to the rear is an enclosed lawn garden with borders. A gate opens onto a shared pathway, returning to Salcombe Road.
An additional piece of garden lies beyond, gravelled with a garden shed and apple tree.
Location The house occupies a convenient and sought after location within a Conservation Area on the edge of the town centre.
As such an excellent range of independent shops, High Street chains and popular restaurants are within walking distance, the seafront being only half a mile away.
