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
Offered to the market with the benefit of no forward chain is this spacious, detached, five bedroom family home.
Located on a popular modern development named “The Chase” in Longfield, the home is well positioned for a vast number of local amenities, as well as reputable schools.
Tucked away in a quiet pocket of the development, and with an access road that services just this property and one other, the home offers privacy and seclusion.
The home occupies one of the larger plots, with ample off road parking (a driveway and a double carport), and a wider garden, than most.
The home is configured over three floors of versatile accommodation. Downstairs, the property offers an entrance hallway, with a bay fronted study, to the right.
To the left, is a large lounge/dining room, again bay fronted and benefitting from plenty of natural light.
There is a separate, modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and the convenience of a utility room. The utility room and the lounge both offer doors to the rear garden.
A downstairs cloakroom, located under the stairs, completes the accommodation on this floor. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms.
The master is an impressive size, with fitted wardrobes and a large, en-suite shower room featuring “his and hers” sinks. Bedroom two is another generous double, again with a contemporary shower room.
Bedroom three is currently utilised as a dressing room but is still a double room, with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is located on this floor, with bath, toilet and wash/hand basin.
To the second/top floor, there are a further two bedrooms with dormer windows. Again both generous in size, one offers access to a large loft/eaves storage cupboard.
The other, includes a large sky light. Additional benefits include a recently installed air-source heat pump, making the home so much more energy efficient. There is also double glazing, throughout.
Externally, there is a spacious, South-facing rear garden. This features a eg patio and seating area, and a section laid-to-lawn.
A brick wall with 6ft fence panels above it, add to the privacy on offer. Benefits include a shed for storage and also a side gate, for direct access from the double car-port.
This location/development is highly sought after, given its proximity and short walk, to Longfield Village amenities.
It also tends to offer the best value for money, in terms of size and square footage, in DA3.
Longfield train station provides regular, direct services to London Victoria in little over 30 minutes, whilst the village itself offers a Waitrose Supermarket, a Co-Op, a Post-Office, several independent retailers, a doctor’s surgery, a dentist, a pharmacy, numerous takeaway eateries and a popular, Mediterranean/Meze style restaurant.
There a great selection of reputable primary and secondary schools in the local area, namely Langafel C of E primary, Hartley Primary Academy and Our Lady of Hartley.
From the main road, there are school coach services through to local Grammar schools, too! See “school checker” for more.
Road links to the A2, M25, M2 and M20 are within easy reach, whilst Bluewater Shopping Centre and Ebbsfleet International station are also within a short driving distance.
Estate Management Charge: Approx £330 per annum (i’ve assumed here, but please confirm). Tenure: Freehold Council tax band: Your signed T&c’s indicated band B, but are you sure this is correct.
Most of the properties on the development are band F or G? Enquire now to book your viewing slot.
