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
** Guide Price: £300,000-£340,000 ** Mapps Estates are delighted to bring to the market this deceptively spacious five bedroom extended semi-detached family home set in the heart of Lydd and overlooking the Rype.
The generous accommodation comprises a front porch, a reception hall, a living room with a bay window and an open fire, a large recently-fitted kitchen/breakfast room opening to a spacious dining room and a separate utility room, a bedroom and a shower room to the ground floor, with four further bedrooms, a dressing room which has en suite potential, and a family bathroom to the first floor.
The property also enjoys a rear garden and a garage. An early viewing comes highly recommended.
Located in the semi-rural town of Lydd on the Romney Marsh, with a selection of local shops and a primary school.
There is plenty to do in the local area, with Dungeness Natural Nature Reserve, the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch light railway, and golf courses all only a short drive away.
The nearby town of New Romney offers a selection of independent shops and restaurants together with a Sainsbury's store, doctors, dentists and both Primary and Secondary schooling.
The medieval coastal town of Rye and the popular beaches of Camber Sands are also within half an hour's drive as is the market town of Ashford.
High speed rail services to London are available from Ashford International railway station approximately twenty-five minutes away by car, providing fast services to London St Pancras in only thirty-eight minutes.
Ashford also provides access to junctions 9 and 10 of the M20 motorway, giving easy access to Maidstone, London and the Port of Dover, while the Channel Tunnel terminal at junction 11A offers direct rail links to mainland Europe.
