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
Description A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial commercial building on Wharfdale Road, King's Cross, benefiting from planning permission granted under permitted development rights for change of use from office (Class E) to a single residential dwelling (Class C3).
The property is situated within the Keystone Conservation Area, though it is not itself a listed building.
Arranged from basement to the third floor, the approved scheme provides a versatile three-bedroom house extending to approximately 2,330 sq ft (216.5 sq m).
The basement level provides flexible living space including a TV room or home gym, a utility room, WC, generous internal and external storage as well as access to the front courtyard.
The ground floor comprises the entrance hall and a study, together with dedicated space for bike and refuse storage.
The first floor is arranged as an open-plan kitchen and living/dining room, ideal for entertaining, with further storage off the landing.
The second floor houses two double bedrooms served by a family bathroom, while the third floor is dedicated to a third bedroom with its own ensuite.
Access to the internal garden can be gained either directly from the third bedroom or from the landing.
This represents an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupier looking to create a substantial family home in the heart of King's Cross.
