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 beautifully presented five bedroom detached family home situated in a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Fordwich, recognised as England's smallest town.
The property has been extended by the current owners and offers in excess of 2000sqft of spacious, comfortable and versatile accommodation.
The ground floor has an entrance hall, downstairs WC and three reception rooms; a living room, a separate family/games room and a dining room with bifold doors opening onto the rear garden.
In addition, the kitchen has a banquette for informal dining, a range of integrated appliances and access to the separate utility room with space for laundry appliances.
The first floor is particularly light and spacious with four double bedrooms, one single and a family bathroom.
The master bedroom suite has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room, the second bedroom has fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom has contemporary fittings and is fully tiled.
To the front of the property there is a driveway for two cars in addition to a single garage and an EV charging point.
The rear garden, which is not overlooked and has a south-easterly aspect, has an area of low-maintenance artificial lawn bordered by mature shrubs and trees.
There is a lovely pergola area designed for alfresco dining and a natural stone patio surrounds the house. Tucked away is a cabin with power which is currently being used as a home office.
Fordwich lies approx. two miles north-east of Canterbury and sits astride the River Stour and retains an active church, the Michelin-starred restaurant The Fordwich Arms and the George & Dragon pub.
Nearby is Sturry, with a variety of local amenities including a railway station, doctors and dental surgeries and convenience stores.
Canterbury city centre is easily accessible and retains all the amenities, educational, cultural and recreational facilities associated with a major county city.
Sporting and recreational pursuits include first class cricket at Canterbury, together with hockey at Polo Farm, sailing and other watersports along the coast, day trips to France via Eurotunnel and ferries, and pleasant walks along footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding countryside.
From Canterburys two railway stations there is a regular service to several London stations, the high-speed train via Ashford reaching St Pancras in under an hour.
The A28 and A2 facilitate rapid access to the M2 motorway. For channel crossings the port of Dover is about 13 miles and the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton is about 22 miles distant.
