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
Bright and open, this two-bedroom split-level period conversion, offers the incoming purchaser a perfect blank canvas in an ideal location.
The flat is arranged over the first and second floor of this attractive and characterful building – measuring an impressive 946 sq. ft.
Ceiling heights are substantial, as is the natural light in this property.
There’s an easterly aspect to the front, with beautiful sunrises over the surrounding skyline, and the light continues via the rear façade after lunchtime and into sunset.
The flat is entered via the first floor half landing, and once inside there is a spacious central landing with a wonderful original, curved u-shaped balustrade, providing a sense of arrival and a striking focal point.
The first room off the central landing is the kitchen, which is l-shaped and currently big enough for a three person dining table.
The main reception room spans the full width of the front of the property, and there is a bathroom off this space too.
The reception room is exceptionally bright, with a large, angled bay window and unique masonry carvings frame the view through the smaller of the four windows.
Ascending the stairs there is a large sash style window halfway up, further flooding the space with natural light.
Upstairs, there are a two large rooms, one of which is currently set-up as a double bedroom, the second as an office/second reception room, and another bathroom.
The flat is extremely well connected, situated between Sydenham station (c. 9 mins) and Penge East station (c.6 mins), both of which connect with Central London in under 20 minutes.
East London is very easily reached on the overground at Sydenham, and Brixton (and the tube) are just 11 minutes from Penge East.
Both Sydenham and Penge are just a short walk away, where you will find plenty of amenity offering including shops, cafes, restaurants, local breweries and pubs.
Barely further afield, you also have the wonderful Crystal Palace triangle and Forest Hill. Green space is in abundance in this part of South-East London.
There are many parks within easy walking distance, including Crystal Palace Park with its infamous dinosaur lake, sports centre and zoo.
Alexandra recreation ground is a well looked after and popular local park with a playground and bowling club, which is just over the road, and the vast Beckenham Place Park and The Horniman Museum are both nearby too.
