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.

Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Alkham Valley, the village is renowned for its scenic walks, riding and cycling routes, with a welcoming community centred around the village pub and restaurant overlooking the cricket ground and park.
A community hall, regular local activities and equestrian centre add to the appeal, while the nearby Channel Port of Dover provides a range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

10 mins distant) and the Port of Dover provide easy access to the continent.
The Property A welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous reception hall, with a blend of parquet and engineered oak flooring extending throughout much of the ground floor.
The spacious sitting room provides an inviting focal point with its exposed brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, while beyond lies a sociable open-plan dining room leading into a striking garden room.
With exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling and attractive views over the garden, this exceptional space creates a wonderful sense of light and volume.
The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with contemporary-style cabinetry, complemented by Corian and oak block work surfaces and a useful range of integrated NEFF appliances with an induction hob and Corian splashback.
A breakfast bar provides an ideal informal space for everyday dining, while a cloakroom and separate utility room add further practicality.
The utility room also provides access to the integral garage and garden.
