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
Situated in the popular village of Aylesham, this well presented three bedroom semi detached house on Queens Road offers a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for a home that has already benefited from a considerable programme of improvements.
The current owners have lived at the property and have undertaken a wide range of works during their ownership, creating a comfortable and well maintained home ready for its next chapter.
Upon entering, the ground floor provides a practical and welcoming layout, with a separate living room positioned away from the main entertaining space.
To the rear is a generous open plan kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable area that works particularly well for everyday family life and entertaining.
The kitchen was replaced in 2018 and provides a modern and functional space with plenty of room for dining.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, comprising two good-sized double bedrooms and a smaller double bedroom, alongside a family bathroom.
The bathroom has been knocked through and improved, with the works completed in accordance with Building Regulations.
There is also new flooring throughout the property, helping to give the accommodation a fresh and consistent feel.
The property has benefited from a significant number of improvements over recent years. The roof has had the tiles, felting and battens replaced, while the fascias and soffits were renewed in 2019.
The windows and external doors were also replaced in 2019, alongside the kitchen and boiler. The chimney has been repointed, while the property benefits from double glazing and mains drainage.
Outside, the front of the property provides a generous brick paved driveway with parking for approximately three cars.
To the rear is a particularly good sized garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and offers plenty of space for children, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors.
An additional benefit is the former garage, which has been rebuilt and converted into a useful office space, providing an ideal area for those working from home, studying or requiring additional versatility.
