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
Nestled in the charming village of Little Baddow, Chelmsford, this impressive five-bedroom detached family home on Colam Lane offers an exceptional blend of space, comfort and modern family living.
Built in 2004, the property has been thoughtfully designed with busy family life in mind, providing generous and versatile accommodation throughout.
At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area, a natural hub for everyday family life and entertaining alike.
This welcoming space flows beautifully into a modern timber conservatory, flooding the room with natural light and offering wonderful views across the garden.
In addition, the property benefits from two spacious reception rooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family living, whether for relaxing evenings, a playroom or a dedicated home office.
Practicality has been carefully considered on the ground floor, with a separate utility room and a useful boot room/inner lobby — perfect for muddy boots, school bags and dog walks — helping to keep the main living spaces calm and organised.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with six generous double bedrooms, three of which benefit from their own en-suite bathrooms, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
The layout ensures ample space for growing families, visiting guests or multi-generational living.
Outside, the substantial rear garden provides a fantastic setting for family life, offering plenty of room for children to play and for summer entertaining.
A versatile outbuilding is currently arranged as a home gym but could easily become a stylish garden room, studio or summer house.
To the front, the property offers ample parking for multiple vehicles, making it ideal for busy households and visiting guests alike.
This is a home that truly caters for family living — combining space, practicality and a wonderful village setting — offering the perfect place to grow, entertain and create lasting memories.
