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 like the idea of having all the facilities of Bishopstoke Park close at hand, but would prefer to be a little more tucked away from the main hub of activity, 51 Garnier Drive could be just the spot.
Situated on the first floor, this one bedroom apartment offers comfortable, easy living within this popular retirement village, with the restaurant, wellness centre and the many clubs and activities all within the main building.
Step inside and the hallway has a useful storage cupboard housing the meters.
Utilities are supplied via Anchor and billed monthly, while underfloor heating keeps things cosy, with individual thermostatic controls allowing you to adjust each room to suit.
The living room is a comfortable place to relax, with a remote-controlled electric fire providing an extra focal point and warmth on colder evenings.
A glazed door separates the kitchen, handy for keeping cooking smells contained while still allowing light to flow through.
There is plenty of cupboard space along with integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer, washer/dryer, combination oven and two-ring induction hob with extractor over.
The bedroom is surprisingly generous for a one bedroom apartment, with plenty of room for furniture as well as fitted wardrobes providing useful storage.
From here there is direct access into the shower room, which has been designed with ease of use in mind and includes a step-free shower along with fitted storage cupboards.
Living at Bishopstoke Park is about far more than just the apartment itself.
There is always something going on if you want to join in, from regular talks, cards and quiz nights to organised exercise classes.
The impressive Wellness Centre includes a swimming pool, spa, sauna, steam room and gym, while Antlers Restaurant and Cotton’s Deli mean you don’t even need to cook if you don’t feel like it.
With everything close by but without being right beside the busiest communal areas, 51 Garnier Drive offers a lovely balance between having your own private space and being part of village life.
