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 attractive and significantly sized bungalow with large detached annex is set in a most delightful situation along a quiet rural lane, with garden and woodland totalling around 3.83 acres.
The main home isn’t currently habitable due to serious structural and roofing issues, so it will not be possible to secure a mortgage for the purchase of this home; a cash buyer is required.
The bungalow was previously arranged as a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 cloakroom, 3 reception room home.
There is enormous scope to add significant value to this property, given a current footprint of almost 2,900 sq ft in the main residence alone, and an additional 999 sq ft in the separate detached annexe.
The annexe itself was only built three years ago, so is modern internally, so one could inhabit here whilst undertaking works to the main residence.
This home could be reinstated in to a superb family home given the footprint and fantastic outside space, which includes a generous lawned garden and private woodland.
Knatts Valley is also an ideal semi-rural location given it’s only 6.5 miles from Sevenoaks, which has fast and frequent commuter services to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
The house is in the catchment of local grammar schools as well as private schools like St Michaels, Russell House and Sevenoaks.
The Access to the national motorway network is easy via the M26 and M25, and both Otford and Kemsing stations have connections to London Victoria/Blackfriars.
Outside The property is approached over a block paved in and out driveway leading to a parking area with space for a number of vehicles, as well as side access on both sides of the home.
The gardens wrap around the outside of the property and include a paved patio courtyard, a generous lawn and an area of woodland totalling approximately 3.83 acres.
Situation Knatts Valley is a quiet semi-rural hamlet within an aonb.
Locally there are shops, a pharmacy, cafe, doctor's surgery, a public house as well as schools within the villages of Kemsing (3.8 miles) and Otford (3.6 miles).
Further amenities can be found in nearby Sevenoaks (6.5 miles) including both state and private schools.
