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 substantial and highly individual three-bedroom semi-detached home with over 1,100 sq ft of accommodation, a generous south-facing plot and superb outbuildings, offering a rare amount of space, flexibility and value.
Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.13 acres, this very spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home offers far more than first impressions suggest.
Originally built to house police staff, the property has a different feel to many homes in the surrounding area, with wider proportions, excellent natural light and a real sense of practicality throughout.
For buyers wanting a home that gives them something extra, this is a brilliant opportunity.
The house itself provides over 1,100 sq ft of accommodation, while the garage and outbuildings bring the total footprint to an impressive 1,522 sq ft.
That additional space makes a huge difference, whether you need storage, hobbies, a workshop, a gym, or simply room for family life to spread out.
The property has been extended to the front, creating a bright and spacious entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for the home.
From here, the layout flows into a generous through lounge/diner, a sociable and comfortable everyday space with French doors opening directly onto the garden.
It is the type of room that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for family gatherings, with a lovely connection out to the rear.
The kitchen is modern and well arranged, with a useful separate utility room beyond, giving the home the practical space many families look for but often struggle to find.
There is also a downstairs WC, adding further convenience to the ground floor. Upstairs, the sense of space continues.
All three bedrooms are good sizes, with bedroom three currently arranged as a study and walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.
Measuring approximately 9’8 x 8’8 and fitted with wardrobes, it offers excellent flexibility as a bedroom, nursery, home office, dressing room or creative space.
The main bedrooms are also well proportioned, making the first floor feel genuinely practical rather than compromised.
The bathroom is another standout feature, fitted with a modern four-piece suite including both a separate bath and shower.
It gives the home a more premium family feel and avoids the usual choice between bath or shower. Outside is where this home really comes into its own.
The rear garden enjoys a desirable southerly aspect, offering a bright and open outdoor space with plenty of room for children, pets, entertaining or future landscaping.
There is side access, a detached garage, driveway parking to the front and potential to create further off-road parking, subject to any necessary planning consents.
To the rear, the outbuildings provide superb additional usable space.
There is a boiler room/workshop, plus a fully insulated workshop and gym room, ideal for buyers who work from home, run a hobby, need storage, train from home, or simply want flexible space away from the main house.
The location is another important part of the appeal.
Waltham Road is well placed for everyday convenience, with access to local shops, schools, green spaces and transport links across Rainham, Gillingham and the wider Medway area.
It is a practical position for families, commuters and buyers who want space without being disconnected from local amenities.
This is a home that offers genuine value for money: a generous plot, south-facing garden, spacious internal layout, modern kitchen and bathroom, driveway, garage and excellent outbuildings, all combining to create a property that feels different, versatile and full of potential.
