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
This characterful, two-bedroom, semi-detached cottage is located in the heart of Longfield Village, incredibly well connected and finished to impeccable standards throughout.
Largely Edwardian, the property was built in 1908, was fully refurbished in 2011, and has been further improved by the current owners, making it a true, turn-key opportunity.
It also retains the majority of its original features, including sash windows, ornate feature fireplaces and picture rails.
There is a block-paved driveway to the front of the house, large enough to accommodate 1-2 vehicles - a rare benefit for properties in the village!
Downstairs, there is an entrance hall with stairs ahead, and a door in to the first of two traditional receptions.
The bay-fronted lounge features engineered wood floor, recently upgraded double glazed sash windows, wooden shutters and a multi-fuel stove.
Beyond this is a second reception, used as a formal dining room. This includes a lovely, period fireplace and again, sash windows. There is a well fitted, contemporary kitchen to the rear.
This features quality twin ovens, integrated dishwasher, induction hob and extractor. Again, there is engineered wooden flooring, and the condensing boiler is located here, too.
Adjoining the kitchen is a handy downstairs cloakroom and utility space, with housing for washing & drying facilities. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms.
The master is incredibly well proportioned, whilst bedroom two is slightly smaller.
Both rooms retain original fireplaces, and the front/master again features upgraded double glazed sash windows and wooden shutters. A large, family-sized bath/shower room completes the accommodation.
This has been fully refurbished in keeping with the period style and is complete with wooden shutters once more.
A further benefit is a large loft space which boasts conversion potential, subject to the necessary permissions but with a fine precedent set by the neighbouring home.
Externally, there is a well-maintained, "split", rear garden. This includes a paved seating area, some lovely planting and shrubs and decent fencing.
To the rear, the additional "secret" garden provides ample space for a home office or garden room/studio, as well as some raised sleeper beds/vegetable patches.
There is currently a large, garden shed, for storage.
The property is within a very short walk (less than a minute!) from Longfield train station, which offers frequent, regular services to London Victoria via Bromley South.
Within the village, for your convenience, there is also a Waitrose supermarket, a Post-office, a Co-Op, a butcher, a bakery, a pharmacy, a doctors surgery and a dental practice.
Road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 are fantastic, and there are good links to Ebbsfleet International and Bluewater Shopping centre, both just a few junctions along the A2.
