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
A light and spacious second floor apartment within an elegant mansion block close to Wimbledon Village and the Common.
Wimbledon Close is a highly regarded development at the top of The Downs close to Wimbledon Village and the Common.
The communal areas and the gardens are all beautifully maintained and the development has the benefit of both a lift and porter service.
This second floor apartment has a central hallway with rooms coming off both sides and the principal rooms all have a sunny South Westerly facing aspect.
The layout means that it works equally well as a two bedroom apartment with two reception rooms or as a three bedroom apartment with one reception room depending on the requirements of the owners.
It is decorated in a neutral colour scheme throughout and has double glazed windows.
Wimbledon Close is located approximately two thirds of a mile from Wimbledon Village High Street which is lined with a select range of shops, cafes and restaurants and less than half a mile from Wimbledon Common.
The Common extends to approximately 1200 acres of green open space and offers the perfect opportunity to pursue a wide range of outdoor pursuits including walking, cycling, riding and golf.
Wimbledon town centre is approximately one mile away and offers a wider range of shops and local amenities including a Rail Station (Waterloo approximately 17 minutes by fast train) and a District Line Underground Station.

By road the A3 links central London with the M25, the rest of the motorway network and the airports at Gatwick and Heathrow.
The property is sold with the benefit of no onward chain and a lease of 125 years from 24 June 2005 (i.e. approximately 105 years remaining).
