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 former public house, originally called 'The Blacksmiths Arms' has records dating back to 1738 with further links back to the reign of King Charles II due to the age of the original round fireplace on the ground floor.
In 1823 the property was renamed The Hope, likely to have been named after an old traditional sea lugger.
It's now a wonderfully bright and characterful home offering spacious accommodation in excess of 2,000 sq ft across 4 floors with period features throughout.
On the raised ground floor is a bright and generous sitting room with stunning bay window and window seat overlooking Middle Street.
This room is centred around a brick chimney breast with gas fired stove. To the rear is the eat-in kitchen with original fireplace and pantry as well as a guest cloakroom and study area.
The upper 2 floors offer a delightfully bright master bedroom suite as well as 4 more bedrooms and a family bathroom including sea glimpses from one of the bedrooms on the top floor.
In addition, this home also features a fully usable lower ground floor which is currently set up as a family room and additional dining space.
This is an exceptional home, combining refined period charm, versatile accommodation in a prime Deal location just one street back from the seafront
