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
Situated in the popular village of Hersden, this well presented two bedroom end of terrace home on St Albans Road offers practical living space, a low maintenance garden and the added benefit of a garden office, making it an ideal property for first time buyers, small families or those working from home.
The property is entered directly by an enclosed entrance porch, providing a useful space for coats and shoes before entering the main living accommodation.
From here, you are welcomed into the main living area which has been arranged in an open plan layout, creating a bright and sociable space for everyday living.
To the front of the property is the kitchen which provides ample storage and worktop space, making it a practical area for preparing meals.
The layout then flows through to the lounge/ diner at the rear of the home, offering a comfortable and relaxing space to unwind.
Large doors and windows at the rear allow plenty of natural light into the room and provide access out to the garden. Upstairs, the first floor comprises two well proportioned double bedrooms.
The main bedroom is particularly generous in size, offering plenty of space for bedroom furniture and storage.
The second bedroom is also a good sized double, making it ideal for guests, children or even a home office if required.
These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom which has been recently updated by the current owner, creating a stylish and functional space.
The property has also benefited from a number of practical improvements including cavity wall insulation, helping to improve energy efficiency, and a boiler which was installed approximately seven years ago, and has been serviced annually since then.
Externally, the rear garden is a good size and has been fully paved, creating a low maintenance outdoor space that is ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
A particularly attractive feature of the garden is the detached office, which provides an excellent environment for those working from home or needing a separate workspace away from the main house.
Parking for the property is available on street.
Hersden is a well connected village located just a short distance from Canterbury, offering convenient access to local amenities, countryside walks and transport links into the city and surrounding areas.
