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
McCartney Estate Agents are delighted to offer for sale this three-bedroom link detached family home, pleasantly positioned within the established and popular Fortinbras Way development in Chelmsford.
Offered with the significant advantage of no onward chain, the property provides a practical and versatile layout ideally suited to family living.
The ground floor accommodation is centred around a generously proportioned 17'7 lounge, providing an excellent main reception space.
The kitchen sits towards the rear of the property and opens through to a useful conservatory, creating an additional reception/dining area overlooking the rear garden.
A ground-floor WC provides further convenience, while the property also benefits from an attached garage.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying its own en-suite shower room.
The remaining bedrooms are served by the separate family bathroom, while additional built-in storage is also provided.
The property has benefited from some important improvements during the current ownership, including replacement windows approximately seven years ago and a replacement boiler approximately three years ago, providing buyers with reassurance regarding two of the home's larger maintenance items.
Externally, the property offers the benefits expected of a link detached family home, complemented by its garage and established residential setting.
With its link detached position, three bedrooms, en-suite facilities, conservatory, garage and chain-free sale, we feel Fortinbras Way represents an excellent opportunity and would strongly recommend an internal viewing.
