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 wonderful three double bedroom ground floor apartment, which offers 1200 square foot of modernised accommodation has been beautifully modernised in recent years and offers sea views from most rooms, a private garden, off road parking, a large garage and a share within the freehold!!
This wonderful ground floor apartment is set within Laverstock, a period purpose-built development of apartments occupying a superb coastal position, backing directly on to Boscombe Cliff Gardens, and being one of only a handful of buildings to have no road behind.
The apartment has been fully modernised during our clients ownership and offers 1200 square foot of accommodation to include three bedrooms, a Kitchen/Breakfast room, living room, sun terrace and a modernised shower room.
Unusually for ground floor apartments, most principal rooms offer a sea view, there is also a private garden and one of the largest garages we have ever seen along with additional off road parking.
Most of the rooms are accessed off the entrance hallway, and being south facing are exceptionally bright.
The living room is ample large enough to accommodate an array of living room furniture, and offers a door to the near full width sun terrace which in turn leads out onto the private garden.
All three bedrooms are good sized doubles, with the two largest both offering sea views and the largest offering access into the sun terrace.
The third bedroom is a little smaller but will accommodate a double bed and has built in wardrobes.
The modernised Kitchen/Breakfast room offers a great space to cook, dine and relax, being some 22' in length and again offers superb sea views.
The kitchen has been fitted with a range of modern eye level and base units with some built in appliances and a breakfast bar area. There is also a door to the sunroom.
The bathroom, accessed off a small inner hallway, has been modernised with a large walk in shower, bath, wash hand basin and a WC with a concealed cistern.
There is also a second WC accessed off the main entrance hallway with a useful storage cupboard adjacent.
Externally, Laverstock is set well back from the road with well-maintained communal gardens to the front of building.
The apartment also benefits from off road parking and an exceptionally large garage measuring over 650 square foot.
The apartment benefits from a private south facing garden, directly accessible from the apartment which is laid to lawn and offers lovely sea views.
Finally, the apartment has a designated storage area within a secure communal basement. An apartment which really does have everything, and if ever there was a 'unique' apartment, this may just be it!
Tenure: The apartment benefits from a share within the freehold and an annual service charge of £2422 is payable.
