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
Positioned on the raised ground floor of an imposing Victorian terrace on Amhurst Road, this beautifully considered one-bedroom garden apartment balances classic architectural volume with curated, soulful interior design.
Spanning an impressive 658 sq. Ft., the home effortlessly harmonises original period elegance, boasting high ceilings, deep picture rails, and wide original floorboards.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed into the grand front reception room, where light floods through a vast sash bay window framing leafy views.
Centred around a striking white marble surround fireplace with a period cast-iron insert, the room feels both expansive and wonderfully cosy.
Custom dark-painted floor-to-ceiling shelving lines the alcoves, highlighting dark-stained original timber floorboards and dark picture rails that give the room a graphic, contemporary architectural definition.
The kitchen is arranged as a functional and characterful galley space dressed in muted pale powder-blue cabinetry, polished dark granite work surfaces, and glossy white Metro tiled splashbacks.
Wall-mounted magnetic knife strips, integrated cooking appliances, and floating shelving optimize space for culinary enthusiasts.
A glazed rear door leads directly down steps to the private garden The private rear garden is a genuine standout feature, finished with classic brick paving and wrapped in mature greenery and climbing ivy, this secluded courtyard creates a quiet extension of the living space- ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding in privacy.
Moving towards the quiet rear of the floorplan, the bedroom offers a tranquil sanctuary away from the main living area. Generous in proportion, it enjoys serene views through the dual sash windows.
An extensive wall of bespoke built-in fitted wardrobes provides exceptional storage while keeping the space clean, light, and uncluttered.
The bathroom is clad in dark slate grey tones and tactile tiling, offset by clean white subway tiling, a sleek vanity wash basin, heated towel radiator, a deep soaking bathtub, and a separate glass-enclosed walk-in shower cubicle.
