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 attractive period town property offering deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, complemented by a well-established rear garden enjoying far-reaching views across the town and surrounding countryside.
The property retains much of the character associated with its era, with the main living room featuring a large bay window which floods the room with natural light and takes full advantage of the impressive outlook.
A second reception room provides excellent flexibility and could be utilised as a dining room, study, office or family room, with double doors leading through to the adjoining utility area.
To the rear of the property, an open-plan kitchen/diner, fitted with a selection of wooden units providing ample space for a dining table and chairs.
A door leads into the useful utility room, which offers additional storage and access to a downstairs cloakroom, as well as a door leading directly out to the rear garden.
On the first floor, a charming galleried landing provides access to all the principal rooms.
The spacious main bedroom benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes and overhead storage, together with two double-glazed windows to the front aspect, again enjoying lovely views across the town and countryside beyond.
There are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The loft is accessed via a loft ladder and has been partially opened up, with the benefit of a skylight.
This provides an exciting opportunity for further development and potential additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning and building regulation consents.
Outside, the property enjoys a small front garden with on-road parking available.
The generous rear garden is a particular feature, being well established with a mature selection of planting, various seating areas and a recently updated composite decked seating area positioned at the far end.
This provides an ideal spot for outdoor entertaining or simply relaxing whilst enjoying the lovely views towards the popular Herne Hill Nature Reserve and the countryside beyond.
Offering a combination of period character, generous living accommodation, three double bedrooms, attractive views and an established garden, this is a property that is likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, versatility and favourable position this appealing home has to offer.
