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
Frost Estate Agents are delighted to present this substantial and exceptionally versatile detached family home, extending to almost 3,000 sq/ft, occupying a secluded plot of 0.3 acres within one of Kenley's most desirable residential locations, off Welcomes Road.
Thoughtfully reconfigured and significantly improved by the current owners, the property offers an outstanding level of flexibility, making it equally suited to growing families, multi-generational living, those seeking an income opportunity, or buyers requiring dedicated work-from-home accommodation.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a beautifully designed contemporary space extending across one side of the property.
Flooded with natural light from the large roof lantern and full-width glazed doors opening onto the garden, it features an extensive central island, quality cabinetry, generous dining space and a relaxed seating area, creating the perfect environment for both everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale.
A separate reception room provides a more formal living space, whilst a useful utility room completes the ground floor. The split-level layout creates a wonderfully adaptable arrangement.
The lower ground floor can function as an integral part of the main residence or, if required, as a largely self-contained annex.
It benefits from its own modern kitchen/dining room, spacious reception room, double bedroom and contemporary bathroom, whilst still enjoying internal access to the principal house.
This flexible accommodation is ideal for dependent relatives, older children, guests or even those considering ancillary accommodation.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with an en-suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom, separate shower room and study, with the mezzanine level adding further character and flexibility to the layout.
Further enhancing the property's appeal is the detached garden studio, complete with its own kitchenette and shower room.
This superb addition offers endless possibilities as a home office, consulting room, guest accommodation, creative studio or independent workspace, allowing buyers to adapt the property to their own lifestyle.
Externally, the mature gardens provide a private and peaceful setting with a number of seating and entertaining areas, ideal for enjoying the surrounding woodland backdrop.
The generous plot offers excellent privacy whilst still providing ample parking and easy access to the detached studio. Homes offering this degree of flexibility are exceptionally rare.
With multiple independent living areas, two fully equipped kitchen/dining spaces, a detached garden studio and beautifully presented contemporary accommodation approaching 3,000 sq/ft, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a home capable of evolving with a family's changing needs for many years to come.
