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 modern ground-floor apartment with green outlooks in Leybourne Chase Set within the popular Leybourne Chase development, this extremely well-presented ground-floor apartment offers modern living with countryside walks and green spaces right on your doorstep.
A local convenience store is just a short walk away, adding everyday ease to a well-connected setting.
The building benefits from a secure entry system, with the apartment positioned on the ground floor.
Inside, a spacious hallway provides several generous storage cupboards, leading to a modern bathroom, two bedrooms and a bright open-plan living space.
Double-aspect windows fill the living area with natural light and give a pleasant outlook over nearby green spaces.
Outside, the property comes with an allocated parking space, along with ample visitor parking.
Green areas sit to the front and side of the building, and a network of footpaths through woodland and countryside is close by, ideal for walks and fresh air.
Leybourne Chase is a sought-after location thanks to its balance of convenience and open space.
While the development has its own local shop, West Malling High Street is only a short drive away, offering a wide choice of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
West Malling is widely regarded as one of mid-Kent’s most attractive small towns.
For leisure, woodland walks run through the development itself, with Manor Country Park, Trosley Country Park and Leybourne Lakes all nearby.
West Malling station provides mainline services to London Victoria subject to timetable, with additional nearby stations offering alternative routes, including high-speed connections.
Junction 4 of the M20 is also close by, giving easy access to London, the Channel Tunnel and Bluewater. A smart, light-filled apartment in a location that makes everyday living easy.
