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 beautifully updated first floor one double bedroom city centre flat with a view of Truro Cathedral, communal car parking, mains gas central heating, stylish modern kitchen and refitted bathroom.
Excellent city centre location, a short walk from restaurants, shops, cafes, theatre and cinema.
Why You'll Like It - If you’ve been searching for a smart, city centre home with a touch of style and some rather special views, this first floor one bedroom flat should be high on your list.
Set right in the heart of Truro, you can look out from your windows towards the iconic Cathedral spires and the distinctive clock tower atop the Hall for Cornwall.
Inside, the property has been thoughtfully updated and feels immediately welcoming.
The composite front door opens to a neatly arranged hallway with space for shoes and coats, and the practical hard flooring continues throughout, creating a clean and cohesive feel.
The open-plan living space works brilliantly, with two large windows ensuring the room is wonderfully light and bright.
The kitchen area is fitted with a range of base and wall units, laminated work surfaces and a handy breakfast bar – ideal for morning coffee or casual dining.
There’s space for a slot-in cooker, space and plumbing for both washing machine and dishwasher, and room for a full-height fridge freezer.
We particularly like the contemporary-style radiator which adds a stylish finishing touch.
The double bedroom is a calm and comfortable space, while the updated bathroom features a white suite with bath and rain-style shower over, glass screen, pedestal basin, close-coupled WC and a heated towel rail.
Storage is another strong point here: a generous walk-in cupboard houses the mains-gas Worcester boiler and provides invaluable additional space.
Outside, residents share the communal car park, and there are further parking options close by, with a council-run public car park just across the road and an NCP car park a short stroll away.
All in all, this is an appealing, well-presented home in a superbly convenient location – ideal as a first home, investment or Cornish city base.
Where It Is - This location is right in the heart of the city and easily walkable to the fantastic array of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes.
The neo gothic Cathedral holds many events including craft markets and silent discos in addition to wonderful concerts.
The Hall For Cornwall is the county's theatre with amazing shows ranging from panto to big name stand ups with plays and musicals every bit as good as The West End!
