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 extended and particularly versatile 3/4 bedroom semi-detached family home, occupying a convenient plot and position within the sought after village of Istead Rise.
Offering spacious and flexible accommodation across two floors, this property has been thoughtfully extended to provide an excellent balance of living and bedroom space, whilst externally benefitting from a substantial driveway, internal garage, generous rear garden and a further detached, brick-built garage/workshop to the rear.
The large concrete driveway is a particularly useful feature, providing off-road parking for approximately 5-6 vehicles, whilst the small integral garage is currently best suited to storage rather than vehicle use.
This offers conversion potential too, subject to the necessary permissions. Upon entering the property, the ground floor provides a welcoming and practical arrangement.
The main reception space is a large through lounge-diner, which has been extended to the rear, creating an impressive area for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing plenty of natural light into the extended living space and providing a pleasant connection between the house and garden.
Accessed from the lounge, and positioned within the extended area to the rear of the garage, is a highly versatile additional room.
Currently utilised as a second/guest bedroom, this flexible space could equally lend itself to a playroom, home office, snug or second lounge, depending on the requirements of the incoming owner.
This adaptability makes the property particularly well suited to families requiring additional living or sleeping accommodation. It could even suit families that are multi-generational.
A separate fitted kitchen is positioned to the front/side of the property and benefits from a useful side door providing direct access to the garden.
A downstairs cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the property continues to offer generous and flexible accommodation.
The large master bedroom spans the entire depth of the house and currently benefits from a fitted shower cubicle.
Subject to some minor reconfiguration, there is potential to create a more formal en-suite arrangement, adding further convenience to the main bedroom.
There is a further double bedroom, together with a generous, single third bedroom, currently providing excellent flexibility as a child's bedroom, dressing room or study as alternatives.
These further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing throughout, with a loft space for storage.
Externally, the rear garden is a great feature. A paved patio leads onto a substantial section of lawn.
The garden also benefits from a brick-built garage to the rear, together with a shed and greenhouse. Pedestrian access to the garage is available via neighbouring Worcester Close.
Istead Rise is a popular and established village, well positioned for those seeking a combination of village living and excellent commuter connections.
The property is conveniently located for the village's local amenities, including the Co-Op, doctors' surgery, dentist, community centre, park and a selection of takeaway outlets, whilst the village primary school is also within a short walk.
For commuters, the area benefits from excellent road connections, with convenient access to the A2, M2, M20 and M25.
Rail services are available from Meopham and Gravesend, with Ebbsfleet International providing High Speed services into London St Pancras International, alongside other London connections from the surrounding stations.
The combination of local amenities, reputable schools and strong road and rail connections has helped establish Istead Rise as a sought-after village location for families and commuters alike.
