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
An opportunity to purchase an exceptionally well presented detached bungalow in the rarely available and much sought after Courtlands, situated on the edge of the old fishing village of Kingsdown, just a few minutes walk to the beach, pubs and village amenities and a short drive or cycle ride into Walmer and Deal.
Part of a small cul de sac development constructed in the 1980’s on the site of the old village tennis courts.
Courtlands has always been a popular choice for those seeking a well-designed, quality property in a great location.
Owned by the vendors for over 30 years they have now reluctantly decided to relocate nearer to their family.
During their ownership they have maintained the property to a high standard and made a number of improvements including updating the kitchen, bathroom and the addition of 2 conservatories both of which open on to and enjoy views over the attractive southwest facing garden.
KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities.
In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted).
Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course.
A further three Champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open).
