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
Charming 4 bed detached home with three useful outbuildings. Situated in a plot of just over half an acre on the edge of Downe Village.
A rare opportunity to purchase a slice of village life with the benefits of modern day living.
Set within its own gated grounds with three separate outbuildings, Downe Hall Farm offers an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.
The centre of picturesque Downe Village, protected by a conservation order, offers the benefits of rural living with the convenience of shops and restaurants in Locksbottom and train links into London from Orpington and Bromley South stations which are accessible via bus from the village centre.
Also close by are woodland walks at High Elms Country Park plus West Kent and High Elms golf courses.
Having been completely refurbished by the current owner over the last 2 years the property now offers comfortable, modern accommodation comprising a semi-openplan living and dining room with stunning views over the surrounding grounds plus a separate kitchen with walk-in pantry.
To the first floor are four bedrooms, a three piece shower room and separate three piece bathroom.
Situated in a Conservation Area, the plot extends to just over half an acre and is bordered by fields and Christmas Tree Farm offering a real sense of space and seclusion.
The garden wraps around all three sides of the property with a backdrop of mature trees providing delightful views from all rooms.
A gated driveway opens to a large parking area at the front of the property with three separate brick and flint outbuildings which could be used for a number of purposes.
There is a double garage with an attached single garage which would be ideal as a workshop plus a single storey detached building which is currently used as an office.
The third outbuilding is currently used as a gym and has a loft room and three piece shower room.
This building holds a separate title to the main house and also had planning permission granted in February 2021 for conversion into a one bedroom dwelling with private garden area and two parking spaces.
