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
Only 0.7 mile from Otford station and village centre. Summerleaze is a much improved four-bedroom detached house with a detached outbuilding/garage.
The present owners knocked through the kitchen and dining room to form a single 26'9" room and fitted an entirely new kitchen within it.
There is an 18'2" sitting room with a working log burner, a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, and a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite above.
Outside, a south-facing garden of nearly sixty feet, a two storey double garage/outbuilding, a workshop and a log store.
2,649 sq ft in all, with St Michael's Prep a third of a mile away and the North Downs at the end of the road.
Summerleaze is a substantial detached house on the quiet eastern side of Otford, on Pilgrims Way East, with the North Downs rising immediately behind it.
The present owners have improved it considerably.
Most significantly, they took out the wall between the kitchen and the dining room to form a single room of 26'9” and fitted an entirely new kitchen within it.
Across the driveway there is a detached two storey garage/outbuilding with utility and w.c. The kitchen and dining room now runs the full width of the rear of the house and is very much its centre.
There is a deep central island with seating, integrated appliances, a wine cooler and doors opening onto the terrace.
The garden is in view throughout, and there is room for a dining table of ten or twelve without the island going out of use. The sitting room, 18'2", adjoins it and looks over the garden.
It has a working log burner, with built-in log storage either side, and is well proportioned enough to take a large sofa without feeling full.
A double bedroom and a contemporary shower room complete the ground floor.
The two together make an obvious guest suite, and would equally suit a relative living with the family, a grown-up child at home, or anyone who would rather avoid the stairs.
There is a separate utility room off the kitchen. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has its own dressing room and en suite shower room.
Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, and there is a first-floor storage room with eaves space beyond it, which four-bedroom houses of this type very often lack.
The two storey detached garage/outbuilding stands across the driveway which offers many uses such as a gym, home office etc The garden faces south and measures approximately 58'10" x 45'5".
There is a paved terrace off the kitchen, lawn beyond it, and at the far end a substantial shed and workshop with a separate log store. The garden is fully enclosed.
The driveway takes several cars in front of the garage. Council Tax Band F
