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
If you're considering downsizing but refuse to compromise on space, Apartment 36 at Brooklands House offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy independent retirement living without sacrificing the comforts of a substantial home.
Measuring in excess of 1,000 sq ft, this beautifully appointed three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment has been thoughtfully designed to provide generous proportions throughout.
From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the sense of space.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan living/dining room and separate kitchen area, a wonderfully sociable space that easily accommodates larger sofas, a dining table and additional furniture, making it perfect for entertaining family and friends.
Whether hosting guests for dinner or simply enjoying everyday life, you'll never feel as though you've downsized.
The apartment offers two spacious double bedrooms alongside a versatile third bedroom, ideal as a guest room, study or hobbies room.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite wet room, complemented by a contemporary family bathroom.
Practicality is equally well considered, with a separate utility cupboard and a generous storage room ensuring everything has its place.
A delightful walk-out balcony provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an afternoon with a good book while taking in the elevated views across the surrounding area.
Situated on the first floor, Apartment 36 enjoys an enviable position within the development, with easy access via two lifts and two staircases.
Brooklands House is far more than simply an apartment building, it's a vibrant, welcoming community created exclusively for those aged 65 and over, where homeowners remain independent while enjoying the reassurance that support is available whenever needed.
Designed around the needs of its homeowners, Brooklands House offers an outstanding range of facilities and opportunities to enjoy later life to the fullest.
Residents can dine with friends in the elegant waiter-service restaurant, meet neighbours over coffee in the welcoming homeowners' lounge, or choose from an extensive programme of social events, clubs and activities.
Whether you enjoy keeping active in the activity studio, unwinding in the therapy suite, visiting the hairdressing salon or simply spending time in the beautifully landscaped gardens, there are countless opportunities to maintain an active, fulfilling lifestyle.
One of the greatest advantages of life at Brooklands House is the balance between independence and reassurance.
Homeowners enjoy complete privacy within their own apartment while benefiting from a dedicated team on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This provides invaluable peace of mind, not only for residents themselves but also for their families, who can take comfort in knowing that help and assistance are always close at hand should it ever be required.
For many, retirement living is not about giving something up, it is about gaining more. More time to enjoy life without the burden of maintaining a larger property.
More opportunities to build friendships and enjoy companionship with like-minded neighbours.
More confidence to continue living independently, supported by a community designed to enhance wellbeing, security and quality of life.
With beautifully maintained communal gardens, convenient on-site homeowner parking close to the main entrance and an exceptional range of amenities, Brooklands House offers a lifestyle that is both enriching and reassuring.
Apartment 36 is a rare opportunity to enjoy a spacious, luxurious home within one of Stafford's most desirable independent retirement communities, proving that downsizing can, in fact, mean upgrading your lifestyle.

It is these facilities along with the 24-hour on-site support which makes your new home likely to be suitable for your whole life, without the need to move to a care home.

A contribution to the Building Reserve Fund is also collected through the Service and Well-being Charge.
The Building Reserve Fund will build up over time so that money is available to pay for capital costs as they occur e.g replacement lifts, restaurant kitchen equipment, the building’s roof and car park etc.
This means that the development is always kept up to the same standard as when you purchased your apartment.
