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 £375,000 - £400,000 Three bedrooms, parking for two and a garden ready for summer... Berkeley Drive is looking rather tempting.
Tucked away along Berkeley Drive in the ever-popular Chelmer Village, this three-bedroom terraced home has all the ingredients for easy family living – generous outside space, off-road parking and even a little potential up top for those with an eye on the future.
First things first: Parking. The driveway comfortably provides off-road parking for two cars, meaning no evening laps of the neighbourhood searching for that elusive space.
Pull up, park and you’re home – simple. Step inside and you’ll find a home with a practical layout and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
The lounge is a welcoming space for switching off at the end of the day, with a lovely bay window adding a touch of character and allowing natural light to pour in.
Whether it’s movie night, entertaining friends or simply stretching out on the sofa and insisting you’re “just resting your eyes”, this is a room made for relaxing.
There’s also a ground floor WC, which may not be the most glamorous room in the house, but anyone with children or regular guests will know just how useful it is.
An outside storage cupboard provides another practical bonus – perfect for garden tools, outdoor bits and all those mysterious household items that seem to accumulate but never quite find a home.
Head upstairs and you’ll discover three bedrooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family life.
Children’s rooms, guest accommodation, a home office, dressing room or a combination of the above – you can decide who gets what.
The family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation and conveniently serves all three bedrooms.
Now, if you’re someone who likes to think ahead, there could be another interesting opportunity waiting above.
The property offers potential for a loft extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, opening up the possibility of creating additional accommodation in the future.
The house already has plenty to offer, but there may be scope for it to grow with you too. Then we come to the rear garden, and there’s plenty of it to enjoy.
A good-sized patio area provides a ready-made spot for the garden furniture, summer dining and the inevitable barbecue the moment the temperature creeps above 18 degrees.
Beyond the patio is a generous lawned area, giving children room to play, pets somewhere to burn off some energy and gardeners a blank canvas to get creative with.
Whether your idea of the perfect garden involves entertaining friends, kicking a football around, planting flower beds or simply finding a sunny corner with a drink in hand, there’s room here to make it happen.
All of this can be found within Chelmer Village, a popular residential part of Chelmsford that continues to appeal to buyers looking for a convenient location with access to the city and surrounding amenities.
With three bedrooms, driveway parking for two cars, a characterful bay-fronted lounge, ground floor WC, family bathroom, useful outside storage and a generous patio-and-lawn garden, this is already a home with plenty going for it.
Throw in the potential to explore a loft extension, subject to the necessary permissions, and Berkeley Drive might just have a few more tricks up its sleeve. Three bedrooms. Two parking spaces.
One very decent garden. We’d say that’s a pretty good place to start. Chelmsford offers a fantastic blend of city convenience and countryside charm, making it a popular place to call home.
As the county city of Essex, it boasts an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities, alongside plenty of green spaces for those who like a little fresh air with their city living.
The city centre provides a lively mix of well-known names and independent favourites, while Chelmsford railway station offers convenient connections into London Liverpool Street, making the area particularly appealing to commuters.
Families are also well catered for with a good choice of schools and recreational facilities, while beautiful Essex countryside is never far away.
Whether it’s shopping, dining, commuting or enjoying a Sunday stroll, Chelmsford offers a little bit of everything – without having to choose between city life and a more relaxed pace.
