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
This extraordinary property is a rare opportunity to own an abundant, historic space that represents both a large footprint and very high specification finish throughout.
During their ownership, the current owners have comprehensively refurbished the apartment.
Benefiting from a modern heating system, new engineered oak flooring, full redecoration, a bespoke kitchen and luxurious bathrooms, the flat is presented in exceptional turn-key condition inside and out.
As you enter the flat a lovely transitional entrance space welcomes guests with a beautifully finished family bathroom straight ahead, complete with a heated towel rail, an oversized rain shower, attractive, tasteful tiling and built-in wall cabinets, all added in 2019.
Continuing along the hall, the first double bedroom boasts lovely period features, a large sash window for excellent natural light and ventilation, a full-size built-in cupboard and additional overhead storage perfect for suitcases.
Adjacent is bedroom two; an even larger double room offering substantial built-in storage and ample space for a king-sized bed, side tables, and a chest of drawers.
A sash window provides wonderful light and a very pleasant outlook onto the rear courtyard.
The heart of the home is the meticulously designed kitchen which was put in in 2019, finished to a remarkably high specification with thick quartz countertops and under cupboard lighting.
It features bespoke cabinetry, a high-spec Bosch hob and oven, a Samsung American fridge-freezer, a Bosch dishwasher and a dedicated wine fridge.
A door and window open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless transition that serves as a wonderful space for alfresco dining.
To the right of the main entrance sits the stunning, spacious sitting room.
Enhanced by engineered oak flooring, impressive ceiling heights and large sash windows complete with working shutters, this room is a spectacular space.
Thanks to its generous proportions, it comfortably accommodates both a relaxing sitting area and a formal dining space.
To the side of the living area is a highly versatile transitional room situated between the upstairs and downstairs.
Currently functioning as a potential extra bedroom, it would equally serve as an excellent home study or snug, complete with built-in coat storage and heating.
Lower Ground Floor Descending the stairs reveals the exceptional third bedroom suite.
This hugely spacious room features a rear Velux window that floods the space with sunlight, alongside a striking architectural archway next to the bed area that creates a stunning "stairway to heaven" effect.
The bedroom effortlessly accommodates a king-sized bed and includes a built-in dressing area and wardrobe.
The accompanying en-suite has been recently finished to a very high specification with Losso Stone for the bath, toilet, sink and shelf that the sink sits on, the shower also serves as a fully functioning steam room with full controls and steam door.
Cleverly utilizing the space beneath the staircase, a full utility room houses a washing machine, dryer, sink, and ample drying space, ensuring the footprint is used exceptionally well.
Outside Through the lovely, spacious courtyard, the property benefits from two large, highly useful sheds.
Both serve as excellent storage or workshop spaces to suit a variety of needs for potential owners. The courtyard itself is wonderfully sunny and captures much of the day's sun.
Completely private, this space is perfect for summer barbecues, entertaining guests, or relaxing after a long day.
