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.

A modern three-piece bathroom completes the layout, delivering a practical and comfortable home ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors.

Perfectly positioned for transport, the apartment sits within easy reach of both Crystal Palace and Norwood Junction rail stations, providing National Rail, Overground, and multiple bus routes for smooth travel across London.
The vibrant Crystal Palace Triangle is just a short bus ride away, offering an impressive selection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and independent shops.
