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
This beautiful, grade II listed, five-bedroom cottage, with off street parking, is situated within easy walking distance of Whitstable High Street, train station and seafront.
On entering the property you are met with a central hallway and staircase, either side of which are two reception rooms that are brimming with period features.
The inglenook fireplace in the primary sitting room sets the scene well, whilst the original wooden beams and leaded light windows throughout the property hark back to the time of its original construction, understood to be circa 1730.
The remaining ground floor accommodation comprises a study area, a large kitchen-diner, and a utility room that houses the remains of a "public oven", which members of the community would bring their bread and joints of meat to cook in for a small charge.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, master en suite, and family bathroom.
Externally, the well established gardens are a serene haven from the bustling town centre, whilst also enjoying the benefit of a detached double garage with electric and driveway.
Research undertaken by the current owners suggests the property was once two farm cottages, built on farmland, hence the orientation of the property to the garden.
Viewings are strictly by appointment with Woodward & Bishopp.
