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 wonderful three-bedroom Fisherman's cottage situated on Sydenham Street in the heart of Whitstable's desirable conservation area.
This beautiful property is conveniently located close to both Whitstable's main high street with its array of independently run restaurants, cafes and boutiques as well as being a stone's throw from the sea front and a short walk to the train station.
Once through the front door you enter in to the front reception room which benefits from a wood burning stove and a lovely large box sash window.
The second reception room is used as a dining room and has a set of large French doors leading out to the garden which fill the room with light.
The kitchen is fitted with modern grey gloss units and integrated appliances and beyond the kitchen is a great size modern bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower.
On the first floor, there are two good-sized double bedrooms and a further third double bedroom to the second floor.
The lovely low-maintenance rear garden is accessed via both French doors in the dining room and the back door in the kitchen lobby.
Part gravel and part patio, this area is perfect for outdoor dining during the summer months. The garden is enclosed with a wooden fence, and a gate provides access to the rear alleyway.
