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.

School Lane, Ickham Property Description: Guide Price £650,000 - £675,000.
Situated along a peaceful lane in the highly regarded village of Ickham, Pines is a spacious detached home combining flexible accommodation, a beautiful garden and an exceptional countryside setting.
An entrance porch opens into the central hallway, from which the ground floor accommodation flows.
The spacious living room is centred around a striking brick fireplace with a log or coal burning stove.
French doors lead into the conservatory, creating a natural extension of the living area and providing an excellent place to relax while looking out across the garden.
A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for meals and entertaining, while its generous proportions also lend themselves to use as an additional sitting room or home office if required.
The kitchen/breakfast room is one of the property's standout features.
Spacious, bright and well suited to everyday family life, it is fitted with an extensive range of units beneath solid wood worktops, together with a breakfast bar.
There is space for a large range-style cooker, an American-style fridge freezer, a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside an integrated dishwasher.
Dual aspect windows draw in plenty of natural light and frame views across the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a well proportioned double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, ideal for guests, older children or anyone seeking predominantly single level living.
A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level. Upstairs, the landing leads to three further bedrooms.
There are two good size double bedrooms and a single, providing flexibility for family members, guests or home working.
Several of the rooms feature attractive countryside views, with glimpses towards the surrounding fields and traditional Oast houses.
A shower room serves the first floor, and extensive eaves storage provides valuable practical space.
Outside: The gardens are a particular highlight of the home and have clearly been thoughtfully established over many years.
From the kitchen there is a spacious patio, ideal for summer entertaining, while the main garden opens into an extensive lawn bordered by mature trees, flowering shrubs and well stocked beds.
A second terrace at the end of the garden overlooks open fields, giving a wonderful sense of space and privacy, with far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
The combination of level lawn, established planting and open outlook makes the outside space equally suited to keen gardeners, families and those simply wanting somewhere peaceful to relax.
To the front of the property is a private driveway providing ample off-road parking for up to three vehicles.
Location: Ickham is a small, picturesque village nestled in the gently rolling countryside and lies just 5 miles east of the historic city of Canterbury.
The village sits within a largely rural setting, surrounded by farmland, orchards, and patches of ancient woodland that reflect the traditional landscape of the Kent Downs.
Its position provides easy access to nearby villages such as Littlebourne, Wingham and Bekesbourne which has a station with links to London via Canterbury East.
Characterised by historic buildings, including traditional Kentish houses and a notable parish church, Ickham retains a quiet, rural charm.
The village is strongly community-led, with local events and activities playing an important role in village life.
At its heart is the welcoming The Duke William, a traditional village pub that serves as a social hub for residents and visitors alike.
