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 charming Grade II Listed period cottage with a delightful garden backing directly onto the River Stour, enviably situated in a quiet and sought-after position in the heart of the city centre, just moments from the Cathedral and High Street.
The property retains a wealth of period character and offers exciting potential for modernisation and improvement, providing a rare opportunity to create a truly special city-centre home.
The front door opens into the entrance hall, leading through to the sitting room, which enjoys an attractive outlook over the quiet residential street.
From the sitting room, a door leads into the dining room, featuring a charming period fireplace with original cupboards to either side. A rear lobby leads through to the kitchen.
On the first floor, the landing leads to bedroom two and the family bathroom, while bedroom one occupies the second floor.
To the rear, the garden measures approximately 29' x 16' and enjoys the particularly appealing feature of backing directly onto the River Stour.
There is also a charming glass house, accessed via a separate stairway. Please note for health and safety reasons, access to this area will not be possible during viewings.
Blackfriars Street is a quiet residential setting, yet is conveniently positioned just a couple of minutes' level walk from the main High Street and Whitefriars Shopping Centre.
Everyday amenities are close at hand, with M&S, Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Metro all within easy reach.
The city also offers an increasingly diverse range of cultural, leisure and dining facilities, including the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury Cathedral, together with an excellent selection of restaurants, bars and cafés.
The beautifully maintained Westgate Gardens and Dane John Gardens are also nearby, providing wonderful green spaces to enjoy throughout the year.
