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
Oculus House is superbly positioned between Lime Kiln Road and the Floating Harbour, offering immediate access to Bristol’s harbourside lifestyle.
Brandon Yard forms part of the city’s historic dockside quarter, once home to working harbour buildings that supported trade and industry along the water.
Today, the area is a smart, well-regarded residential setting with a strong sense of place.
Wapping Wharf and the award-winning Cargo development are a short walk away, along with the M Shed and the historic Underfall Boatyard.
Clifton Village and Park Street are comfortably close, as are leading cultural venues including St George’s, the Old Vic and the Bristol Beacon.
Cabot Circus and the M32 are within two miles, Bristol Temple Meads Station is just over a mile on foot, and Bristol Airport is approximately 7.4 miles away.
Positioned on the ground floor, the apartment offers a generous and well-considered layout with easy access from the communal hallway.
Wide internal doorways make the property suitable for wheelchair users. Walnut hardwood flooring runs throughout, complemented by underfloor heating for a warm, understated finish.
A glazed door opens into a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, a sociable room notable for its ceiling height and natural light.
Two large glazed doors provide direct access to the private terrace, creating an easy connection between inside and out for everyday living and entertaining.
