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
An attractive three bedroom 1930s-style semi-detached home occupying a well-established position in Kingston Crescent.
Being sold with no onward chain and offering an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to modernise and create a home to their own taste.
The property retains many of the proportions associated with homes of this era, including a welcoming entrance hall, separate sitting room and dining room, both of which are well sized and feature traditional fireplaces.
The front sitting room is enhanced by a wide bay window, while the rear dining room enjoys direct access onto the garden.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear and, although now requiring updating, provides a practical layout with a range of fitted units and access to the garden.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, including two particularly good size doubles, together with a family bathroom.
The property now requires a programme of modernisation throughout, but its generous room sizes, traditional layout and established setting provide an ideal foundation for someone wishing to personalise, improve and potentially add value over time.
Externally, the home benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking and a good size rear garden with mature planting, lawn, patio area and a substantial detached outbuilding/shed.
Subject to the necessary permissions, the property may also appeal to buyers looking at the longer-term potential to extend or reconfigure the existing accommodation.
Location Kingston Crescent is a highly convenient and established residential road in Chelmsford, particularly popular with buyers who value being within walking distance of the city centre and Chelmsford mainline railway station.
This makes the area especially appealing to commuters, professionals and families seeking a balance between a quieter residential setting and easy access to the amenities of the city.
Chelmsford city centre offers an excellent range of shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with the Bond Street retail and dining area.
The railway station provides regular mainline services to London Liverpool Street, making the location particularly attractive for those commuting into the capital.
The area is also well served by local schools, convenience shopping and everyday amenities, while nearby green spaces and riverside walking routes provide opportunities for recreation and outdoor activity.
Central Park, Admirals Park and the wider network of footpaths and cycle routes around Chelmsford are all within easy reach.
The combination of period housing, strong transport links, access to green space and the ability to walk into both the city centre and station is what continues to make the Kingston Crescent area such a sought-after place to live.
