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 exceptionally well presented three bedroom home, positioned a few hundred metres from the cliff top and beach at Alum Chine.
Thoughtfully improved by the current owner, the property combines character, contemporary finishes, generous parking and valuable additional space within the basement.
About the Property The entrance hall introduces a beautifully improved home, with new flooring, upgraded lighting, replacement radiators and shutters or fitted blinds creating a consistent finish throughout.
The property also retains many period features, high ceilings and plenty of natural light through the bay/large windows.
Remodelled in 2024, the kitchen combines bespoke Howdens cabinetry with quartz work surfaces and ample space for dining.
A door opens to steps leading down to a decked terrace, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining, with a further few steps continuing to the level lawn beyond.
The separate living room offers generous proportions, while a newly refurbished cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, providing well balanced accommodation for family life, visiting guests or home working.
The insulated and boarded loft offers accessible additional storage. Extending beneath the footprint of the house, the damp proofed basement has been redecorated and fitted with a radiator.
Currently used as a gym, it provides valuable ancillary space for exercise, hobbies or extensive storage, an unusual advantage in a home so close to the coast.
Outdoor Space The rear garden is arranged across two levels. Steps from the kitchen lead down to a decked terrace, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining.
A further few steps continue to the level lawn, creating practical space for children, pets or relaxed summer entertaining. To the front, the driveway provides private parking for several vehicles.
Location Positioned a few hundred metres from Alum Chine beach and the cliff top, the house is also within easy reach of Westbourne’s restaurants, cafés and independent shops.
This sought after setting places coastal walks, sea swimming and everyday amenities conveniently close by.
Philippa Sole Comments “It is increasingly unusual to find a house at this price point so close to Alum Chine beach.
The combination of three double bedrooms, private parking, a level garden and the additional basement space makes this an excellent purchase for a family or couple wanting an active coastal lifestyle, with Westbourne’s restaurants and shops also within easy reach.” EPC Rating: D Parking - Driveway
