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
This reimagined Victorian cottage is on Choumert Square, a private pedestrianised lane in a peaceful pocket of Peckham.
Built around 1870, the house rises behind a private front patio garden and has access to a bustling communal garden, where resident-led events are held throughout the year.
The current owner has renovated the living area and kitchen with a sleek contemporary finish using natural materials, including Calacatta marble and reclaimed terracotta.

The current owner has renovated the living area and kitchen with a sleek contemporary finish using natural materials, including Calacatta marble and reclaimed terracotta.
The Tour Choumert Square has a unique sense of community. Communal activities hosted by residents include Christmas carols, Pride and life-drawing classes.
It is part of the National Garden Scheme's Open Gardens, and each summer hosts a village fete to raise funds for charity. From the front door, the cottage opens to a kitchen-living area.
Reclaimed terracotta has been laid here, atop underfloor heating.
On one side, banquette seating forms a neat dining area; beyond is a new kitchen with bespoke walnut-toned fronts, Calacatta marble surfaces sourced from Diespeker & Co., and aged brass taps on a large ceramic sink.
New appliances include a Bertazzoni range cooker with gas hob and a full-sized dishwasher. A new washer/dryer is cleverly hidden away in a separate utility area.
Beyond the kitchen is a bright shower room, decorated with turquoise zellige tiles. A skylight fills the room with light, and there is a pretty stained-glass clerestory window.
Upstairs is a large double bedroom with original Victorian floorboards and a refined dressing room, complete with bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes.
A pulley maid has been added in the double-height space, next to the stairs that lead to a third level.
They allow for easy access to a light-filled mezzanine space with plenty of additional storage in the eaves.
Outdoor Space A paved front garden, accessed directly from the living space, is the perfect spot to enjoy the sun as it rises.
At the end of the lane is a lively communal garden, filled with yucca and hydrangea, with seating and tables for outdoor dining.
The lane itself is awash with flowers in the summertime as plants and shrubs bloom in the well-kept front gardens along the street.
