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
A beautifully refurbished Georgian maisonette on one of Bloomsbury's most historic streets, accessed via its own private entrance - the original front door of the house.
The building is double-fronted, five windows wide, which gives each floor an unusually large footprint: Approximately 3,600 sq ft across two floors.
It has been comprehensively renovated to a high standard, with contemporary finishes set against retained period detail: Tall sash windows with original shutters, cornicing, original fireplaces and the generous ceiling heights typical of the period.
The ground floor holds the main living space - a large reception room, a cinema room and a separate dining room, arranged so they flow into one another.
Natural light is good throughout and the rooms are notably quiet for such a central address. A bespoke kitchen with a central island, a pantry and a guest cloakroom complete the floor.
The lower ground floor is given over to bedrooms: Four doubles, each with an en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and fitted storage.
There is also a utility room, further storage and a private courtyard garden. Homes of this size and specification are seldom available in Bloomsbury. Viewing recommended.
