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 £400,000 - £415,000 Why Crabton Close Road?
Crabton Close is conveniently located 450 metres to Southbourne cliff tops where you can admire the panoramic sea views from the Isle Of Wight to Old Harry Rocks.
Take a stroll down the zig zag and find miles of golden sandy beach with a promenade that stretches from Hengistbury Head to Sandbanks.
There are a number of water sports available by Boscombe Pier with a range of beach side restaurants and café’s to take in along the way.
Boscombe high street is 700 metres away enjoying a variety of restaurants and bars.
Diverse landmarks in lively Boscombe include art deco buildings, a restored Victorian pier and the 1890s-built Royal Arcade shopping mall.
Boscombe has its own thriving night-life with the O2 Academy hosting a wide range of local, national, and international artists.
This two double bedroom, ground floor flat is immaculately presented throughout. The open plan kitchen / lounge / dining room enjoys a feature bay window which floods the room with natural light.
The kitchen area is fitted with modern cabinets and integrated appliances with counter tops and flooring to complement.
Both bedrooms are double in size with the primary benefiting from an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has a bath with over head shower and screen, wash hand basin and wc.
Outside, with its own sitting area, is the detached freehold studio bungalow. This was refurbished last year to include a new boiler, flooring and kitchen.
It offers a good return (£750pm) but is now being used as a guest house with 5* rated AirBnB though the summer. To the front of the property, there is off road allocated parking for the flat.
