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
A substantial four bedroomed detached Edwardian farmhouse offering almost 2,300 sq.ft of versatile accommodation and occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.23 acres.
With potential to create a self-contained annexe, this elegant period home offers an exciting opportunity for a new family to make their mark.
Built in the early 1900s, the property has seen many changes over the years and has remained in the same family for over two decades.
Flourishing in period features including open fireplaces, impressively high ceilings and beautiful parquet flooring, the accommodation retains a wealth of character whilst offering the flexibility to adapt to modern family life.
The front door opens into a wide entrance hall, where parquet flooring and a sweeping staircase set the tone.
To the right is a charming dual aspect dining room with an open fireplace and high ceilings.
To the left, the triple aspect living room offers a wonderful sense of space and light, with another open fireplace.
Originally arranged as two separate rooms, parquet flooring remains beneath the carpet in one of the former rooms.
The traditional farmhouse kitchen breakfast room features an array of wall and floor units, incorporating all the main appliances.
A well-appointed utility room provides further practicality, whilst the kitchen links perfectly to the adjoining dining room and continues through to a boot room, home office and WC.
This rear section of the property offers excellent annexe potential, with its own entrance and the versatility to create a self-contained living space, subject to the necessary consents.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with shower over bath.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower, discreetly tucked away within a cupboard.
Outside: The property occupies a generous plot of approximately 0.23 acres, with grounds wrapping around the house.
A driveway to the front leads to a double garage, whilst a small orchard provides a delightful introduction to the property, featuring apple, pear, plum and cherry trees.
A pathway winds through the orchard towards a gate providing access to the main road.
The remaining gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with mature trees offering dappled shade, privacy and a lovely sense of seclusion.
A generous setting for family life, the grounds provide ample space to enjoy the outdoors whilst offering considerable scope for further landscaping and enhancement.
Situation: Sturry Court Farm has a desirable location close to Sturry train station and within the vibrant cathedral city of Canterbury, which offers an extensive range of amenities including both High Street and independent retailers, an excellent choice of restaurants, pubs and cafés, leisure facilities, and the recently refurbished and much-loved Marlowe Theatre.
The city also provides outstanding educational options, with highly regarded state and independent schools, three universities, two mainline railway stations, two hospitals, and a comprehensive local bus network.
Canterbury enjoys excellent transport links.
