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
*Awaiting EPC* A delightful end-terrace cottage situated on a popular road in Wincheap, within walking distance of the City Centre and Wincheap Primary School.
This charming cottage is believed to be one of the earliest homes on the road, originally built to house railway workers serving the historical nearby line.
Today, the property retains much of its historic charm, with wooden latch-key doors and character features throughout and is complemented by an exceptional garden the largest among the neighbouring cottages.
The front door opens into a welcoming sitting room where a log-burning stove set within an exposed brick fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point.
Wooden floors and soft natural lighting add to the cosy atmosphere, making it an ideal space to relax in the evenings. Through to a charming country-style kitchen and dining area.
Thoughtfully designed with wooden worktops, a range-style cooker and traditional detailing, the space captures the rustic feel of a classic cottage kitchen while providing ample room for everyday dining.
Also on the ground floor, there is a rear porch which provides access out to the garden, and a bathroom which features a modern suite consisting of a bath with a shower over, WC and wash basin.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms with the rear bedroom benefiting from an attractive feature fireplace and a pleasant outlook over the garden.
There is also a large storage cupboard in the second bedroom. Outside: One of the most notable features of this home is the garden.
Extending significantly further than those of neighbouring cottages, it provides a wonderful outdoor space with lawn, mature trees and a large summerhouse.
There is an additional shed to the rear of the garden and raised beds, perfect for those who fancy growing their own fruit and veg!
