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
Situated to the north of Colchester, this well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home offers a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers, young families or investors.
The property benefits from excellent access to the A12 and Colchester city centre, while a range of local amenities, shops and schools are also within easy reach.
The accommodation is approached via a welcoming porch, which leads into the main hallway and provides access to the ground floor rooms.
The separate kitchen is well equipped with a range of eye and base-level units, offering plenty of storage and space for appliances.
The former garage has been thoughtfully converted to create a versatile additional reception room, currently utilised as a dining room.
This provides an excellent second living space and could alternatively be used as a home office, playroom or family room.
Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms, both providing comfortable and flexible accommodation. A three-piece family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, the property benefits from a generous rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a large patio area, creating an ideal space for alfresco dining, entertaining and family activities.
To the front, a private driveway provides off-road parking.
Combining spacious accommodation, a useful additional reception room, generous garden and convenient location, this property represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-positioned home with easy access to both Colchester and the wider road network.
