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
This stunning two-bedroom first-floor share-of-freehold apartment forms part of an impressive former Grade II listed coaching inn, converted to now comprise just eight individual homes.
Rich in character, with exposed rustic beams and a striking mezzanine level, the property beautifully fuses period charm with modern living in the very heart of Wantage.
Offered for sale with the balance of a 999-year lease and an allocated parking space, the apartment opens into an impressive double-height reception room, where the warmth and character of the original building are immediately apparent.
The living space is framed by traditional exposed beams, with French doors opening onto a Juliette balcony, while the modern fitted kitchen provides a stylish contrast to the historic surroundings.
Thoughtfully converted in 2017, the accommodation also includes a bedroom with built-in storage and a contemporary shower room, alongside its characterful mezzanine area at the heart of the home.
Importantly, the leaseholders are themselves members of the Management Company, giving them a direct say in the management of the building and its service charges, while benefitting from a peppercorn ground rent.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this charming and highly individual home presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Wantage's history, just a stone's throw from the Market Square.
