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 elegant Edwardian three-bedroom, three-bathroom home on Thirlmere Road in ‘Old’ Hightown offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property that beautifully combines period charm with contemporary style.
Sympathetically extended by the current owners to over 1700sq, ft the home now features a show-stopping open-plan kitchen, utility room, and downstairs WC—all thoughtfully designed to complement the character and quality of the original house.
Perfectly situated close to Hightown Train Station, local pub, cricket club, and the sandy beach, the property offers the ideal balance between convenient commuting and relaxed coastal living.
There is also scope for future extensions or a loft conversion should your needs evolve.
The bespoke kitchen, designed by the current owners, seamlessly integrates with the living and dining area to create the true heart of the home.
Featuring a striking roof lantern, bespoke quartz worktops, and maple flooring, this space is both stylish and welcoming.
The adjoining utility room and convenient WC add practicality without compromising on design.
Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing with high ceilings and a Velux window leads to three generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own feature fireplace.
The principal bedroom benefits from a private shower room next door, while the family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a full-sized bath and a walk-in double shower.
Occupying a generous south-facing plot, the property enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day.
The large rear garden provides an ideal outdoor space for children to play or for entertaining during the summer months.
A solid-wood summerhouse—currently used as a gym—offers flexibility as a fully powered garden room or home office.
Completing the property is a gated driveway providing parking for several vehicles and a detached garage offering storage space.
