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
**chain free!** A delightful detached former oast house offering five bedrooms and four reception rooms, set within approximately 0.3 acres of gardens (tbv).
The property was converted around 1971 and is located on the fringes of the popular village of Hawkhurst, within the Cranbrook School catchment area.
The house presents fantastic potential to modernise and further develop, subject to the necessary planning consents.
This charming family home features attractive elevations of whitewashed weatherboard and brick and benefits from a tarmac driveway, generous wrap around south east facing gardens, integral generous garage / workshop, two staircases, and flexible living accommodation.
To the rear, there are lovely views towards Hawkhurst Golf Course. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall.
To the front of the house is a study and a convenient cloakroom/WC.
The sitting room, positioned to the rear, features a brick fireplace with a raised hearth, a floor to ceiling picture window, and a glazed door opening onto the rear terrace.
A doorway leads through to the dining room, which is also filled with natural light.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with an integrated eye level oven and hob, space for a dishwasher, and a range of low level and wall mounted cupboards and drawers.
Windows overlook the rear garden.
Beyond the kitchen is a utility area with fitted cupboards, access to the rear garden, a shower room, and a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, basin and storage.
On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, one of which benefits from ample eaves storage. The principal bedroom enjoys an en suite bathroom.
Two bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, overlook the rear garden, with two further double bedrooms positioned to the front of the house.
There is also a smaller fifth bedroom and a family bathroom. Outside, to the front of the property, a tarmac driveway provides off road parking and access to the integral generous garage / workshop.
The main garden lies to the rear and is predominantly laid to lawn, measuring approximately 0.3 acres. It is well enclosed by specimen trees, plants, and shrubs, offering a lovely sense of privacy.
The garden also features a summer house, and a paved terrace which immediately adjoins the rear of the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Located in Hawkhurst village, this property is just a short distance from the historic Colonnade, which offers plenty of local amenities, including two supermarkets, a doctor's surgery, a dentist, a hairdresser, a library, and a chemist.
Residents can also enjoy a Kino cinema, a butcher, a bakery, a café, and numerous independent shops. The area features two popular pubs, The Queens Inn and the Royal Oak, alongside Tesco and Waitrose.
