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.

Positioned within Castle House-a building with a rich local history-the property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

Upon entering the apartment, you are immediately struck by the striking vaulted ceilings, a feature that runs throughout and creates a wonderful sense of space.
Multiple skylights in every room further enhance the light and airy atmosphere. The dual aspect open plan living and dining room provides generous and flexible space for modern living.
This is complemented by a stylish contemporary kitchen fitted with stainless steel splashbacks, integrated appliances including a dishwasher, and an electric oven and hob.
There are two well proportioned double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en suite bathroom-ideal for guests or sharers.
