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 £525,000 - £550,000 | Rarely available | Stunning two bedroom garden flat | Large mature garden with rear access | Spacious open plan kitchen and lounge | Period features | Separate utility space | Sought after location | Close to Hove Station | Sold with a share of the freehold Guide price £525,000 - £550,000 Wilbury Crescent is a quiet street, in a sought-after area of Hove and a short stroll from Seven Dials.
This enclave of wide, tree-lined residential streets is popular with families and commuters and is conveniently located, not just for Hove Station but also for quick access by car to the Old Shoreham Road, the A27, and A23.
Hove Park, Dyke Road Park, and St Ann’s Well Gardens are all close by.
This beautifully presented two-bedroom period conversion, with its own private entrance, has generously sized rooms, a large front garden, and a peaceful, beautifully designed garden at the rear.
The front door opens into a hallway with wooden flooring, where there is a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs. The main open-plan living space is on the right off the hall.
This generously proportioned room includes a bright, modern kitchen with grey-painted floorboards and a breakfast bar that seats four.
The cream shaker-style units are paired with solid wood worktops, tiled splashbacks, and a ceramic butler sink.
Appliances include an integrated dishwasher and full-height fridge-freezer, with space provided for a range cooker.
The open-plan layout continues into a carpeted living area at the front of the property.
Period features here include a large double-glazed bay window with shutters on the lower panes and a fireplace with an elegant cast iron insert.
Double doors from the kitchen lead to the garden via a gravel path along the side of the house. This opens onto a timber-decked area that catches the sun and is ideal for seating or outdoor dining.
The garden beyond is thoughtfully landscaped with curved and circular features: a lawn, a round brick patio, a pond, and well-stocked flower borders with established shrubs.
Mature birch trees line the back, adding to the garden’s calm and secluded feel. There is also a potting shed.
A real advantage is the rear access on to the twitten path, which is really useful for bicycles and gardening access.
The main bedroom is a bright, comfortable space with a large sash window overlooking the garden.
Double wooden doors at the rear, open into a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, and room for either built-in or freestanding storage.
A partially glazed door provides further access to the garden.
Adjacent to the bedroom is a modern bathroom with a thermostatic shower over the bath, a built-in cupboard housing the Worcester boiler, a white WC and handbasin, and a stainless steel heated towel rail.
The second double bedroom, situated next to the bathroom, is carpeted and has a large window overlooking the side return. The flat has double-glazing throughout.
Hove Park, which covers almost 40 acres, is close by and has a large and varied play area with something for children of all ages.
Numerous fitness events and park runs take place here, there are tennis courts, a 3G football pitch, a basketball court, table-tennis tables, a climbing rock, and an outdoor gym.
Alternatively, just relax on the grass under one of the beautiful trees, or have coffee and cake at the popular café.
