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
Well presented throughout, the property has been thoughtfully maintained to create inviting interiors that feel warm and welcoming from the moment you step inside.
The ground floor offers a cosy yet spacious living room, ideal for relaxing or entertaining, while the separate dining room provides a versatile space for family meals or hosting guests.
The adjoining kitchen is well arranged and functional, complementing the cottage’s traditional charm. A ground floor bathroom and a smart understairs storage system create adds further practicality.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom, a further double bedroom, and a third room that lends itself perfectly as a nursery, dressing room or home office, catering to a range of lifestyles.
Outside, the home continues to impress. To the rear is a delightful courtyard garden, creating a private and low-maintenance outdoor retreat, perfect for morning coffee or summer evenings.
Beyond this, a separate main garden provides additional outdoor space rarely found with properties of this style, ideal for keen gardeners, families or those simply looking to enjoy a larger plot.
A particularly valuable feature is the off-street parking and detached garage to the rear, offering secure parking, storage or potential workshop space — a sought-after benefit in this central village location.
Positioned within easy reach of Great Baddow’s excellent local amenities, reputable schools, and convenient transport links into Chelmsford city centre, the property enjoys the best of village charm with city accessibility.
Full of character and presented in move-in ready condition, this attractive cottage offers an appealing blend of period features, practical living space and excellent outside amenities, making it an ideal purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or those looking for a distinctive home in a highly desirable location.
