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
Nestled at the rear of a small purpose built development on the ever popular Westwood Road this is a really lovely one bedroom flat.

An added bonus is the fact that the owner extended the lease for 189 years from 1992 with ground rent set at a peppercorn level.
Well laid out, the flat will extend a warm welcome to you and your visitors. The living room is bright & spacious with sunshine beaming through the double doors leading onto the balcony.
The room provides a very comfortable area to relax after a hard day's work plus also a dining area.
The balcony overlooks the rear grounds- the perfect place to enjoy an early morning coffee or relax in the summer sunshine.
Onto the separate kitchen - this is well designed with good cupboard & work top areas, appliances and a very helfpul large larder.
And the bonus being that you can shut the door on all that washing up and defer to tomorrow whilst you relax or enjoy the company of friends & family!
Create your own haven from the hustle & bustle in the large bedroom which exudes a feeling of calmness and is comfortably furnished with double bed plus built in wardrobes.
The accommodation is completed by the family bathroom which has an electric shower over the bath.
