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
*Awaiting EPC* A superb three-bedroom semi-detached family home with a generous driveway and rear garden, situated in the highly sought-after village of Rough Common.
The property is well-presented throughout and has benefited from a stylish new kitchen and bathroom within the last 18 months and is offered to the market with no forward chain.
Rough Common is a particularly popular location for families, offering a strong sense of community while remaining within easy reach of Canterbury city centre, Canterbury West railway station, the University of Kent and a selection of highly regarded schools, including Blean Primary School and Kent College Junior and Senior Schools.
Set back from the road, the property is approached via a spacious driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
The front door opens into a useful entrance porch, perfect for coats and shoes, before leading into a bright and welcoming hallway.
To the front of the property is a versatile reception room, currently arranged as a double bedroom.
This flexible space could equally serve as a sitting room, formal dining room, playroom or home office to suit a family's needs.
To the rear is a light-filled lounge/dining room, where glazed sliding doors open directly onto the garden.
A stylish gas fireplace with a stone-effect surround provides an attractive focal point, making this a comfortable room in which to relax or entertain guests.
Beyond the living space, a rear hallway leads to the kitchen and incorporates a large utility cupboard with space for a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, together with excellent additional storage.
The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted with sleek navy and white handleless cabinetry, complemented by modern worktops and matching splashbacks.
Integrated appliances include an electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher.
Completing the ground floor is a modern shower room, fitted with a white suite comprising a corner shower enclosure with electric shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.
The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from fitted wardrobes, while the second double bedroom is positioned to the front.
A generous single bedroom, also featuring fitted wardrobes, provides an ideal child's bedroom, guest room or study.
Serving the first floor is a beautifully appointed bathroom fitted with a modern white suite, including a bath with rainfall-style electric shower and glazed shower screen, vanity unit with inset wash hand basin and WC.
Outside, the property benefits from a generous rear garden which enjoys a good degree of privacy.
It features a paved terrace area, ideal for garden furniture and enjoying BBQs and the rest is laid to lawn, offering plenty of space for children to run around and play games.
Fully enclosed, the garden provides a safe and private environment for children and pets, and is a blank canvas, with plenty of scope for keen gardeners to create their ideal outdoor space.

Families are particularly well catered for, with plenty for children to get involved in, from nearby Tyler Hill Youth Football Club to the local cricket team, which plays on the fields just behind the village.
