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
Set in a highly favoured top floor corner position, this immaculately refurbished one bedroom retirement apartment offers a rare combination of style, convenience, privacy, and outlook within easy walking distance of the very heart of Canterbury.
The apartment has been thoughtfully modernised by the current owner to a high standard, featuring a sleek, contemporary kitchen (Neff appliances) and a smart, well-appointed shower room.
The overall presentation is stylish and inviting, creating a home that is ready to move into with no work required. A further advantage is the extended lease.
On the top floor, the apartment benefits from no overhead footsteps and being close to the lift and stairs.
Its corner setting brings double-aspect natural light into the sitting room throughout the day.
The elevated position also provides charming and uplifting views of the River Stour (with its varied bird life), Westgate Tower and Canterbury Cathedral.
The development itself enjoys a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a friendly community of residents who regularly socialise.
Importantly, this sense of community is entirely there to enjoy as much or as little as residents choose, a great balance between neighbourly connection and private, independent living.
Communal facilities include a fully equipped laundry, residents’ lounge and guest suite available to visitors for a nominal fee.
Residents have the reassurance of a ‘live in’ manager, secure entry system, CCTV and an emergency pull cord facility throughout the building and within each apartment.
Externally there is parking for residents and visitors and the beautiful communal gardens (professionally maintained along with input from the residents’ gardening group) which provide a tranquil, relaxing space just minutes walk from the historic centre of Canterbury.
Shops, eating places, GP, pharmacy, supermarkets, Curzon cinemas, Marlow theatre and the Cathedral are all within a short, level and mostly traffic-free walk .
Canterbury West station, with its high-speed link to London, is also close by as are bus stops on the city’s circular bus route.
