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
Introducing an attractive Georgian-style four bedroom detached family home, ideally positioned within the sought-after village of Hawkhurst and within easy reach of the popular High Street amenities.
Built in 2005, this elegant property combines classic architectural features, including sash windows, high ceilings and beautifully proportioned rooms, with modern enhancements carried out by the current owners.
The result is a bright, spacious and well-balanced home offering versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall with ample space for dining creates an impressive first impression.
This leads through to the generous sitting room, featuring a wood-burning stove and double doors opening onto the rear garden.
The recently refurbished kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a range of contemporary high-gloss wall and base units beneath quartz worktops with matching upstands.
Integrated Neff appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, double oven with slide-and-hide door, wine rack and ample storage with soft-close pan and cutlery drawers.
Additional features include under-unit lighting, a column radiator, stone-effect tiled flooring, recessed downlighting and space for a breakfast table and chairs.
Patio doors provide direct access to the garden, while an adjoining utility room and cloakroom/WC add further practicality.
The first floor is accessed via a spacious landing and offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising three doubles and a fourth bedroom ideal as a nursery, study or home office.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the property is approached via double wrought-iron gates opening onto a shared driveway with the neighbouring property, leading to private parking for several vehicles.

The driveway continues to a single garage with an electronic up-and-over door, power and lighting and benefits from boarded loft space.
To the side of the property, a gated access and Indian sandstone pathway lead to the rear garden, where there is also a useful bin storage area.
The rear garden enjoys a desirable south-easterly aspect and has been beautifully landscaped to create an attractive outdoor entertaining space.
A full-width Indian sandstone terrace extends across the rear of the property, providing ample room for seating and dining.
Beyond, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enclosed by mature trees and high-level close-board fencing, offering a good degree of privacy.
Planted borders host a variety of established shrubs and specimen planting, including rhododendrons, holly and cherry laurel.
