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 £2,000,000 - £2,200,000 Nestled in an exclusive and peaceful corner of Chislehurst, this is a beautifully refurbished five-bedroom detached residence offering generous proportions, elegant interiors, and exceptional flexibility for modern family living.
The property has been thoughtfully updated throughout by the current owners, who have created a truly special home with a wonderful sense of flow and light.
Beautifully presented throughout, this elegant home blends contemporary design with versatile living spaces.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home-bright, refined, and finished to an exacting standard.
At the heart of the house is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for both daily living and stylish entertaining.
The space is bathed in natural light thanks to an elegant orangery-style roof over the dining area, while the sleek central island with breakfast bar adds both function and a sociable focal point.
The kitchen flows beautifully into the adjoining rooms, with double doors leading to the formal sitting room and discreet sliding pocket doors opening into the playroom/games/TV room-offering both open-plan living and the option for privacy when needed.
The impressive games/play/TV room is a real feature of the home.
Generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, it includes bespoke built-in cabinetry for media, books, and storage, making it a practical and inviting family space.
Full-width bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden. Whether used as a games room, cinema room, or informal family lounge, it offers a great, flexible space.
