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
Apartment 4, Stapleton House is a particularly spacious and beautifully renovated three-bedroom apartment, forming part of an elegant converted Victorian villa.
Set within a well-managed building with a share of the freehold, the property offers the scale, character and practicality that can be difficult to find in apartment living, extending to just over 1,000 sq ft.
The apartment is positioned on the entrance level, with steps leading up to the communal front door and into a welcoming shared reception hallway, where individual post areas are arranged for each flat.
From here, the private entrance opens into Apartment 4, which has been renovated throughout and is now presented in move-in condition.
One of the standout spaces is the kitchen/dining room, designed with both everyday use and entertaining in mind.
The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units, generous worktop space, an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, under-counter fridge and freezer, along with a large peninsula breakfast bar.
There is also room for a dining table and chairs, making this a sociable and practical heart of the home.
The lounge is a separate and well-proportioned reception room, offering excellent space for relaxing.
A feature fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while built-in cupboards add useful storage and help maintain the clean, uncluttered feel of the room.
There are three double bedrooms, two of which are especially generous, making the layout ideal for buyers who need flexible space for guests, working from home, or future family requirements.
The shower room has been newly renovated and finished in a stylish contemporary design, comprising a walk-in shower enclosure, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel radiator.
A dedicated laundry cupboard houses a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer, keeping the main living areas smart and practical.
Externally, the apartment benefits from an allocated parking space positioned conveniently close to the communal entrance, with further visitor parking available within the development.
Combined with the share of freehold, spacious accommodation and renovated interior, Apartment 4 offers an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or those looking for a low-maintenance home with more space than the average apartment.
