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
Summary A very spacious, detached property currently being let and returning a strong yield.
With seven bedrooms over two floors, a communal lounge and kitchen, downstairs shower room and upstairs bathroom. There is off road parking, front and rear garden and integrated garage.
Sold with no onward chain.
Description This attractive, modern detached Georgian style property set back from the road in Harkness Drive would make a great family home or would be ideal as a student let as it is less than a mile from the University of Kent.
It is deceptively large and currently configured to provide seven bedrooms for students including two on the ground floor together with a shower room, kitchen and a lounge/diner.
The garage is being used as a large storage area for students' bikes and other paraphernalia but could always become a garage again.
If you wanted to transform it into a family home it would be simple to turn the ground floor bedrooms into living accommodation including a study/playroom and a separate dining room.
The kitchen is modern and well fitted and includes a built in oven and hob.
While the good sized lounge/diner is light and spacious with windows at each end and a glazed door with floor to ceiling window panels opening onto the terrace.
Upstairs there are five further bedrooms together with a large shower room.
Outside the low maintenance fenced garden with a terrace is an ideal spot for inviting friends over for a barbecue in the summer.
There is also a good sized lawn surrounded by shrub borders, while at the front of the property you will find a lawn, flower borders, external access to the back of the house and a high hedge providing privacy, as well as a drive leading to the garage with off road parking Lounge 18' x 10' 6" ( 5.49m x 3.20m ) Kitchen 12' 6" x 9' 8" ( 3.81m x 2.95m ) Bedroom Five 15' 1" x 11' 11" ( 4.60m x 3.63m ) Bedroom Seven 16' 3" x 8' 9" ( 4.95m x 2.67m ) First Floor Bedroom One 18' 2" x 8' 10" ( 5.54m x 2.69m ) Bedroom Two 13' x 10' 4" ( 3.96m x 3.15m ) Bedroom Three 14' 6" x 9' 9" ( 4.42m x 2.97m ) Bedroom Four 12' 1" x 10' 5" ( 3.68m x 3.17m ) Bedroom Six 10' 11" x 8' 7" ( 3.33m x 2.62m ) Shower Room 7' 10" x 6' 4" ( 2.39m x 1.93m ) 1.
