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 charming two-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian cottage, tucked away within the highly desirable ‘old town’ pocket of Southborough and offered to the market chain free.
Having been lovingly maintained by the current owner since 2009, the property is well presented throughout and offers a wonderful opportunity for a range of buyers.
The setting is particularly appealing, with Southborough High Street close by and excellent access to High Brooms railway station and Tonbridge railway station, while Royal Tunbridge Wells is also within easy reach.
Internally, the accommodation follows a traditional two-up, two-down layout, with the added benefit of an enclosed porch entrance, a feature not commonly found on the road, providing a practical separation from the main living space.
The ground floor comprises a characterful living room with log burner and a well-designed fitted kitchen with direct access to the garden, alongside a spacious downstairs bathroom.
To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage.
The loft is partially boarded and fitted with ladder access, lighting and power, offering useful additional storage.
A standout feature of the home is the beautifully kept westerly-facing rear garden, enjoying a high degree of privacy and afternoon sunlight.
Thoughtfully planted with a variety of mature shrubs, trees and flowers, it offers a lovely balance of lawn and patio, along with a more secluded area to the rear where a shed provides potential for use as a garden office, subject to the usual consents.
Southborough has become one of the most practical and well-regarded alternatives to central Tunbridge Wells, offering a blend of character and convenience.
With local shops, cafés, pubs and green open spaces, including Southborough Common, all within easy reach, it suits those looking for a well-connected lifestyle in an established and welcoming community.
The location also benefits from excellent transport links via the A21 and onto the M25, along with regular bus services into Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas.
The area is well regarded for its schooling, with a range of primary options and access to sought-after grammar schools, while nearby villages such as Speldhurst and Bidborough add to its wider appeal.
With an estimated rental figure of £1,350 per calendar month, the property offers an attractive gross yield of approximately 4.98% at the asking price.
