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
A tastefully presented and modernised eight-bedroom house, ideally positioned just moments from Paignton's thriving seafront and golden sandy beach - a popular family holiday destination along the English Riviera.
The property has been extensively updated under the current ownership, with the majority of bathrooms and en-suites fully refurbished, elegant décor throughout, and a newly installed fire alarm system fitted within the last two years.
Offering a high standard of presentation, the house is well established as a successful business, yet also provides versatile scope for future use.
Subject to the necessary consents, the building could be adapted into self-contained apartments, a house in multiple occupation, or retained as a profitable hospitality venture.
Externally, the property is approached via Kernou Road with access to Berry Square, where a delightful front patio sits beside the main entrance.
Opposite, private parking extends across the green and provides generous capacity. Further access to the rear courtyard is available from the rear of the building on Kernou Road.
Accommodation is arranged across three floors.
The ground floor comprises the owner's private living quarters, featuring a welcoming living room, two double bedrooms with access to a sunroom, a modern kitchen with an adjoining laundry room, and a shower room.
The sunroom provides direct access to a private rear courtyard garden, while the kitchen houses a recently installed gas boiler and central heating.
Accommodation is spread across the first and second floors, offering eight bedrooms, six with en-suites and two with dedicated but separate bathrooms.
Each room is well presented, with two enjoying attractive sea views over Paignton Green.
The property's ideal position places it within walking distance of Paignton town centre, the harbour, Fairy Cove, and Goodrington Sands, alongside an excellent selection of local amenities.
With shops, restaurants, schools, leisure facilities, and the mainline railway station all nearby, this property is not only superbly situated but also presents a rare investment or lifestyle purchase on the South Devon coast.
