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
Enjoy the ease of ground-floor living and the comfort of your own front door at 5 Gilman Court, a spacious two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bishopstoke Park's over-65s community.
The welcoming hallway sets the tone with room for furniture and everyday essentials.
The living room is a generous, square-shaped space with a door to the private patio-perfect for a sunny sit-out or a few favourite pots.
Glazed double doors open into the well-fitted kitchen, complete with integrated appliances (including fridge/freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer) so everything is neat and within reach.
Both bedrooms are good-sized doubles.
One enjoys a large en-suite-style walk-in shower room with a window for natural light, while a separate bathroom offers a relaxing alternative for an evening soak.
The arrangement works brilliantly for guests, giving privacy and flexibility.
Positioned a short stroll from the main building, you're close to the village's standout amenities-restaurant and bar, wellness centre with pool, sauna, steam room and gym, hair salon, village shop, library and beautifully kept grounds.
Orchard Gardens, the on-site care home, is also nearby for visiting loved ones, and flexible care/housekeeping packages are available if your needs change over time.
A comfortable, well-located home with private outside space and a practical layout-ideal for enjoying the Bishopstoke Park lifestyle.
