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
If you’ve been searching for a home that combines comfort, convenience and a touch of independence, this delightful two-bedroom ground floor maisonette might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.
With its own private front door (yes — no communal hallways here), this home offers the feel of a house with the practicality of apartment living.
Step inside and you’re welcomed into a bright and inviting space that flows effortlessly into the spacious lounge/diner — the heart of the home.
Whether it’s cosy evenings on the sofa, weekend brunch with friends, or your latest Netflix marathon, this versatile room adapts perfectly to modern living.
Natural light pours through the windows, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere throughout the day.
The separate kitchen is thoughtfully designed with practical worktop space and storage, making everything from a quick morning coffee to a full dinner spread easy and enjoyable.
It’s a space that works just as well for everyday cooking as it does for trying out your next “MasterChef-inspired” creation.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and offer flexibility depending on your lifestyle — think guest room, home office, dressing room, or creative space.
The second bedroom could easily double as the perfect work-from-home setup, something buyers increasingly appreciate.
The bathroom is well presented and practical, providing a comfortable space to start your day or unwind after a long one.
Outside, the property continues to impress with an allocated parking space and a garage in a nearby block — ideal for extra storage, bikes, or simply keeping the car protected.
Location is where this home really shines. Just moments away is Chelmer Village Retail Park, offering an excellent mix of shops, cafés and everyday conveniences.
The nearby Asda supermarket makes the weekly shop refreshingly simple, while the A12 is within easy reach, making commuting and travel smooth and straightforward.
Perfect for first-time buyers ready to step onto the property ladder, downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home, or savvy buyers looking for a well-located property, this charming maisonette ticks all the right boxes — and then a few more.
