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 beautifully presented four-bedroom detached residence, situated within a small and exclusive close in the sought-after village of Patrixbourne, conveniently located just a short drive from the cathedral city of Canterbury.
Extending to almost 1,700 sq. Ft.
Of spacious and versatile accommodation, including the integral garage, the property has been aesthetically enhanced by the current owners with creative décor and thoughtful interior design with further improvements have been made to the generously sized, south-facing rear garden.
The elegant façade is symmetrically arranged, with a central front door framed by attractive windows and set beneath a pitched canopy.
The entrance opens into a spacious hallway featuring herringbone flooring and a stylish staircase rising to the first floor.
To the right, a bay-fronted, triple-aspect sitting room benefits from a fireplace with a limestone mantel surround, along with French doors opening onto the garden.
Spanning the rear of the property, the open-plan living space forms a superb hub of the home.
The kitchen is fitted with dark cabinetry, complemented by rose gold handles, quartz worktops, and under-pelmet lighting, centred around a generous island/breakfast bar illuminated by pendant lighting.
A range of integrated appliances are included, notably a Franke boiling water tap and double range stove.
The space flows seamlessly into the dining area, which features French doors leading out to a raised, decked sun terrace.
A utility area has been thoughtfully arranged within the integral garage, alongside space for a home gym. The ground floor is further complemented by a study/snug and a cloakroom.
To the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is enhanced by bespoke panelling, an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room.
Outside: The south-facing garden wraps around the property and has been designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
A raised composite deck is accessed directly from the dining area, while a sun terrace can be reached via the sitting room.
The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by established shrubs and intersected by a garden path.
A further decked area houses a hot tub, which may be available by separate negotiation.
In addition, a fully insulated cabin provides an ideal space for home working or could serve as an art studio or summer house.
To the front the driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to the integral garage which is currently used as the utility room and home gym.
