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
Located in the popular residential area of Heslington Lane, to the south of York, this well-presented and deceptively spacious one-bedroom ground floor apartment with share of freehold, offers a rare combination of character, outdoor space and off-street parking.
Unusual for an apartment of this nature, the property benefits from a private enclosed courtyard garden, a bright garden room and an allocated parking space beyond.
Situated in the sought-after area of Fulford, the property enjoys easy access to a range of local amenities including independent shops, cafés and eateries, while York city centre is conveniently reachable on foot, by bike or via regular public transport links.
Accessed via a secure communal entrance shared with just three other apartments, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall.
To the rear is the living room, a charming space featuring an attractive open fireplace alongside characterful details sshuch as wood-effect flooring, picture rails and deep skirting boards.
A sash window looks through into the garden room, allowing light to flow between the spaces.
The kitchen sits to the rear of the property and offers a range of wall and base units providing ample storage and worktop space, with room for freestanding appliances.
Leading directly from the kitchen is the bright garden room, which enjoys a south-facing aspect and is filled with natural light throughout the day, creating a wonderful additional reception or dining space.
Beyond the kitchen is a useful storage area and the bathroom.
Positioned at the front of the property is the generous double bedroom, which mirrors the characterful features found in the living room and offers plenty of space for a range of bedroom furniture.
Externally, the property truly stands out.
To the rear is a private, enclosed courtyard-style garden, designed for low maintenance and benefiting from a south-facing aspect that ensures it is bathed in natural light throughout the day.
Mature trees and established planting provide a pleasant and private outlook, while an allocated off-street parking space is located beyond the garden.
A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, character and rare outdoor offering of this attractive apartment with no onward chain.
