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
***GUIDE PRICE £450,000-£475,000*** Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this well-presented three-bedroom detached home, ideally located with easy access to the A12, A120, Colchester General Hospital, and Colchester North Station, all just a short drive away.
The historic city centre is also easily accessible, along with a range of local shops, schools, and amenities, including The Gilberd High School.
Accommodation comprises an entrance porch opening into the main hallway, a spacious lounge flowing into the dining area with sliding doors leading out to the rear garden.
The kitchen/diner is fitted with a range of eye-level and base units, integrated appliances, and also provides access to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Externally, the property is further enhanced by a generous rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a patio area ideal for outdoor seating.
There is also a summer house with power and lighting connected.
Side access leads to the front of the property, where off-road parking is provided via a driveway, along with a single garage featuring a roller door.
The property benefits from gas central heating, UPVC double glazing replaced two years ago, and a security alarm. Palmer & Partners strongly advise an early internal viewing to avoid disappointment.
