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
Guide price £1,250,000 - £1,500,000. No chain. Labram Holmes offers you a unique opportunity to purchase an iconic property sat atop the clifftops of St Margarets Bay.
Enjoy uninterrupted views across the English Channel and down onto the bay itself. Nestled in the charming seaside village of St.
Margarets Bay, Thomond Gate is a rare gem that offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and coastal tranquillity.
This exquisite property is situated on Beach Road, just moments from the beach and The Pines Calyx, offering stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty and the sparkling waters of the English Channel.
Individually designed, and built by the locally renowned Melvin Clayson, the property is constructed entirely of handmade bricks and tiles, with double block to the exterior and a timber frame interior.
A variety of premium materials can be found throughout the building, ranging from imported Canadian Spruce, Chinese Slate and Hardwood Flooring.
An unmissable feature is the commanding Inglenook fireplace in the main Lounge.
As with the rest of the home, the fireplace has been constructed well beyond the recommended tolerances with a mixture of French, Dutch and English brick. Externally, circa.
22,000 bricks have been used to create the walkways, courtyards and forecourt. The grounds wrap around the property, featuring various dedicated areas.
A short stroll beyond the hedge line leads to the most striking feature of the property: A tiered Garden that extends to the edge of the chalk cliff face.
From this elevated position, you can enjoy far-reaching views of France or watch people strolling along the bay below.
