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 well-positioned studio apartment in the heart of Barnes Village, offering exciting potential to acquire the flat roof space from the freeholder, with scope to extend and/or create a rare and generously sized roof terrace (subject to the usual consents).
Accessed via a ground floor entrance to the rear, the property is arranged on the top floor with its own private entrance at first floor level.
The studio is bright and airy, benefiting from two sash windows with attractive rooftop views across Barnes.
The accommodation includes a compact kitchenette fitted with a sink, fridge, mini oven and washing machine, along with a separate shower room.
A particular highlight is the generous under-eaves storage, which spans the full width of the property and provides excellent additional storage space.
Ideally located on Church Road, right in the centre of Barnes Village, the property is moments from an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, boutiques and well-regarded restaurants.
The area also offers a range of outdoor pursuits, including the Wetland Centre, riverside walks along the Thames, and the open spaces of Richmond Park nearby.
Barnes Station provides regular services into Waterloo, while good bus routes connect to Putney, Richmond and Hammersmith, all offering Underground links. Heathrow Airport is also easily accessible.
For leisure and fitness, The Roehampton Club, the LTA National Centre, Riverside Health Club and Rocks Lane are all within easy reach.
This combination of location, natural light, and future potential makes it an ideal investment, pied-à-terre or first-time purchase. EPC Rating: E
