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
Detailed Description An exceptional Grade II listed one bedroom apartment, forming part of a characterful conversion within a historic landmark building (what used to be Phipps Brewery).
Combining period charm with modern convenience, this beautifully presented home retains many original architectural features while offering stylish and comfortable living accommodation throughout.
The apartment is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall which leads to a bright and spacious living room, enhanced by two attractive sash windows that flood the space with natural light and provide a wonderful sense of character.
The well appointed kitchen offers ample storage and workspace, while the generous double bedroom provides a peaceful retreat.
Completing the accommodation is a well maintained bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite.
Occupying a highly desirable central location, the property enjoys immediate access to a wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and excellent transport links.
The apartment is perfectly suited to first time buyers, investors, or those seeking a low maintenance town centre residence with genuine character and history.
Properties of this nature are rarely available, particularly within such an iconic building, and an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, charm and convenience on offer.
