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 Sherwood area of Tunbridge Wells, this one-bedroom top floor apartment presents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking for a property with potential in a highly convenient location.
Requiring modernisation throughout, the apartment offers a blank canvas for those wishing to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Whether you are a first-time buyer, investor or someone looking for a refurbishment project, this property provides excellent scope to add value while benefiting from its desirable position close to local amenities and transport links.
One of the key attractions of the property is its location.
High Brooms railway station is within walking distance, providing regular services to London and the South Coast, making it an attractive option for commuters.
Tunbridge Wells town centre is also easily accessible, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities and entertainment venues.
The property additionally benefits from a pleasant setting with woodland directly to the rear, creating a more peaceful outlook than many apartments within the area.
Unlike many flats, the property benefits from its own private entrance.
A pathway leads through the small front garden, which is mainly laid to lawn with established hedge borders, creating an attractive and private approach to the home.
Upon entering, there is a small entrance hall with a useful storage cupboard which could be updated to provide an ideal area for coats, shoes and everyday storage.
Stairs rise to the main accommodation where a spacious landing creates a welcoming first impression.
A recessed area on the landing provides an excellent opportunity to create a home office or study space, something increasingly sought after by modern buyers and those working from home.
The accommodation itself is well proportioned throughout. Positioned to the front of the property is the bathroom, fitted with a panel bath, wash hand basin and w.c.
While functional, the room would benefit from updating and offers a great opportunity to create a modern bathroom suite. Also located to the front is the generously sized bedroom.
This bright room benefits from an airing cupboard, a useful recess ideal for a fitted wardrobe and an additional storage cupboard positioned over the stairs.
The layout provides excellent storage potential and allows for flexible furniture arrangements. To the rear of the property is the spacious living room, one of the standout features of the apartment.
Enjoying views over the woodland beyond, the room offers a pleasant outlook and plenty of natural light.
There is ample space for both living and dining furniture, making it a comfortable and versatile room that forms the heart of the home.
The kitchen is positioned off the living room and currently comprises a range of base and wall units with space for a washing machine, oven and fridge freezer.
There is also a useful built-in larder cupboard and a separate meter cupboard housing the fuse board and gas meter.
Buyers should note that while mains gas is connected to the property, a heating system will need to be installed.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this property represents an exciting opportunity to create a stylish home or investment property in a popular Tunbridge Wells location.
With woodland views, a private front garden, excellent storage and easy access to High Brooms station, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential on offer.
