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
An opulent and substantial Victorian villa situated in the heart of Westgate-on-Sea with the golden sandy beach at West Bay just yards away.
With 2949 sq ft (274 sq m) of accommodation sprawling over four floors, the property benefits from its own one bedroom annexe at lower ground floor level; ideal for a dependant family member or given the location, an excellent holiday let opportunity.
The main entrance hall provides an immediate sense of grandeur and is open to the stunning kitchen/diner with bi-folding doors opening to a Mediterranean style terrace, creating a seamless blend of 'indoor-outdoor' living.
The kitchen itself features sleek cabinetry complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. The lounge features a lovely bay window, high ceiling with cornicing and an original fireplace.
A very handy utility room and WC concludes the ground floor. The first and second floors almost mirror each other with three bedrooms and a bathroom/shower room on each floor.
The impressive 'Master Suite' is akin to that of a boutique hotel with a rich palette and a freestanding copper bath by the fireplace providing the ultimate sense of luxury.
Two sets of French doors then open onto the balcony which spans the width of the property. Partial views of the sea at West Bay are enjoyed from all rooms at the rear of the upper floors.
Moving outside and the mature 114' (35 m) rear garden has been beautifully landscaped with various areas to enjoy the sun and entertain from.
There are two areas of raised decking, artificial lawn and access to a large bespoke, insulated log cabin with power - a great space for entertaining or perhaps ideal for those working from home?
A long driveway extends down the the left of the house and provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles with double gated access into the rear garden.
Owing to its size and versatile amount of rooms both inside and out, this unique and utterly beautiful property can very easily be a 'working home' for those who need to run a business.
