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
This stylish duplex apartment occupies one of the best positions within this secure gated development and has its own private terrace and direct access to the beautiful communal gardens.
Available now with NO onward chain! The apartment forms part of a handsome converted Victorian mansion house on The Firs, one of Bowdon's most prestigious addresses.
The accommodation extends to around 1077 sq ft and includes a magnificent living/dining room that measures an impressive 17'2 x 14'6 with patio doors leading directly to the private terrace.
The kitchen is well designed and is fitted with an extensive range of high quality base and eye level units with quartz work surfaces and a matching island.
Like the living/dining room, the kitchen enjoys an excellent ceiling height that accentuates the sense of space. Stairs from the kitchen lead to the lower ground floor accommodation.
The principal bedroom is well designed and has its own en suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom (another generous double that has a feature exposed brick ceiling) is served by the family shower room.
The apartments are approached via secure electric gates and a sweeping driveway provides off road parking for residents (this particular property has two allocated spaces).
It also has its own private patio that is perfect for outdoor entertaining and direct access to the spectacular communal gardens.
