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
A well-presented three bedroom semi-detached house offering approximately 1,266 sq ft of accommodation, complete with integral garage, own driveway, and a private, landscaped rear garden.
A welcoming entrance porch leads through to the hallway, off which lies a bright, dual-aspect through lounge offering ample space for both a sitting and dining area.
Sliding doors open onto the rear garden, and the room benefits from wood parquet flooring throughout.
The modern grey kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units and integral appliances, including an oven, microwave oven, washing machine, dishwasher, and ceramic hob with extractor above.
A useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage, and a further door gives access out to the garden.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms; two are generous doubles with fitted wardrobes and plenty of room for additional furniture, while the third, also a good size, would suit equally well as a double bedroom, a spacious single, or a home study.
The fully tiled modern shower room comprises a walk-in shower, a sink set within a vanity unit, and a w/c.
Externally, the driveway provides parking for two cars and leads to the integral single garage, which benefits from power.
Side access leads round to the landscaped rear garden, thoughtfully arranged with a generously sized patio, raised planters, and an area laid to lawn bordered by further planting.
Located approximately 0.8 miles from Ingatestone mainline station, with services into London Liverpool Street in around 30 minutes, the property is equally well placed for Ingatestone village centre, also around 0.8 miles away, with its range of independent shops, eateries, and a thriving community scene of hubs and events.
The property also falls within reach of well-regarded local schooling, including Ingatestone Infant School and Ingatestone and Fryerning Church of England Junior School, both rated Good by Ofsted, along with the Anglo European School, a popular secondary school (also rated Good) known for its strong languages and international curriculum.
