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
Situated in a popular and quiet road in central Southborough, being within walking distance of local shops, amenities and transport links is this surprisingly spacious and well presented ground floor apartment.
Offering well proportioned accommodation this would be ideal for a first time buyer or downsizer as it should tick most boxes!
It is one of just three apartments in this 1970's building and is being sold with a share of freehold.
The property comprises a good size entrance hall which leads you to a light & bright sitting room which has a feature fireplace and sliding doors to the conservatory which has been used as a dining room.
From here you can directly access the pretty south-facing gardens which are very private, and a personal door takes you to the garage.
There is a kitchen/ breakfast room which is fitted with modern units, a wood effect worksurface and has space for all the expected appliances as well as a table & chairs.
The bedroom is an excellent size double room with a range of built in wardrobes. A modern shower room completes the accommodation.
Outside there is the aforementioned garden which is a highly desirable and unusual feature for a flat.
It is currently laid to artificial lawn with raised flower beds but has potential for any green-fingered gardener.
A garage is en-bloc directly outside the property with driveway parking in front of it.
We were surprised at how spacious and well presented this property is, and have no hesitation in recommending a viewing to fully appreciate this lovely apartment and all its features.
