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 fantastic opportunity to acquire a spacious top floor one bedroom apartment, with the added benefit of no onward chain, situated in a highly convenient city centre location.
Accessed via a private entrance, the apartment opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, which leads through to a useful utility cupboard with space for laundry facilities.
The bedroom is a generous double, featuring a tall floor to ceiling window which can also be used as a patio door, allowing plenty of natural light into the space.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen area is bright and well proportioned, with two large windows and a separate patio door.
There’s ample space for both a comfortable living area and a good sized dining table.
The kitchen is practical and well arranged, fitted with a range of high and low level glossy cabinets, space for a tall fridge freezer and freestanding dishwasher, as well as an integrated hob, oven and fitted extractor fan.
There’s also plenty of countertop space.
The bathroom is stylish and modern, comprising a shower over bath with tiled surround, herringbone laminate flooring, WC, illuminated mirror, basin and vanity unit.
Outside, one of the standout features of the apartment is the private terrace.
Stretching the length of the property, this generous patio area provides excellent space for outdoor furniture and entertaining.
The property also benefits from an allocated parking space and access to communal bike storage.
Situated within the quiet Lilywhite Drive development, which benefits from a great park and a welcoming community, the apartment is perfectly positioned within a short walk of Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and the city centre, with the convenient amenities of Milton Road and Chesterton Road also close by.
