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.

Garnham H Bewley are delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire a home within one of East Grinstead’s most historic and architecturally significant buildings.
The Old Convent, constructed in the second half of the 19th century, occupies a highly convenient position within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline station.
This impressive property forms part of an exclusive conversion of just 31 residential units, each offering a unique layout and an abundance of original character features.
Accessed via the central quadrangle, the property benefits from three double bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, two generous reception rooms, a separate kitchen, and use of approximately 13 acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds.
The ground floor is centred around an exceptionally spacious entrance hall featuring an original vaulted ceiling and attractive views across the landscaped quadrangle gardens.
From the hallway, there is access to two substantial lounge/living areas, both enhanced by feature fireplaces.
Original Victorian tiled flooring flows seamlessly from the hallway into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of base units providing ample storage and space for a variety of appliances.
A striking large stone-arched window adds further character and allows an abundance of natural light.
Both reception rooms continue the period charm, boasting stone window surrounds and wood-burning stoves set within impressive stone fireplaces.
The central lounge further benefits from a unique mezzanine level, offering additional library or office space, or alternatively a generous storage area.
The main hallway leads to the first floor via a wide stone staircase, where three double bedrooms and two bathrooms are located.
The layout allows convenient access to the family bathroom from both the main landing and the principal bedroom.
The master suite benefits from a generous en suite bathroom, fitted with a shower, wash hand basin, low-level WC, and a range of built-in storage cupboards.
Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double and is accessed via bedroom three. The property further benefits from allocated parking, along with ample visitor parking.
