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 £325,000-£350,000*** Set along a peaceful residential close, this thoughtfully refurbished three-bedroom house offers a clean, modern interior paired with a generous garden.
The spaces are simple and well-proportioned, finished in a restrained palette that allows light to move easily through the house.
It is a home that feels immediately usable, with a calm, understated character and scope to make it one’s own over time.
The Property The house is entered via a modest porch into a central hallway, where a soft neutral scheme and new grey carpeting set the tone for the interiors beyond.
To the front, the sitting room is a comfortable, well-lit space, anchored by a broad window that draws in daylight across the room.
To the rear, a separate dining room looks onto the garden, with French doors opening directly onto the patio.
This connection between inside and out gives the space a gentle sense of flow, particularly in the warmer months.
The kitchen is arranged in a neat galley formation, with pale cabinetry and integrated appliances. A window above the sink frames views of the garden and brings natural light into the space.
A cloakroom sits discreetly off the hallway. Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing.
The principal bedroom spans the width of the house, with a large window and a calm, uncluttered feel.
A second double bedroom sits to the rear, while the third room lends itself well as a study, nursery or guest room.
The bathroom has been finished in large-format marble-effect tiles, with a bath and overhead shower, lending a more refined, contemporary note to the upper floor.
The Outside To the front, a newly laid gravel driveway provides off-street parking, set behind a simple timber fence. The façade is clean and understated, with fresh render and updated windows.
The rear garden extends to a good depth, beginning with a broad stone patio that feels well-suited to outdoor dining.
Beyond, a lawn is bordered by fencing and established planting, offering both privacy and a sense of enclosure.
There is a pleasing balance between hard landscaping and green space, with room for further planting or adaptation.
The Area Strawberry Close sits within a quiet residential pocket of Braintree, a well-connected Essex town with a practical, easy rhythm of life.
