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: £240,000 - £250,000.
Situated just off The Street in the heart of Ardleigh, this unique and immaculately presented two bedroom semi-detached home forms part of a distinctive chapel-style conversion of the former Ardleigh Village Hall.
Combining an attractive characterful exterior with a modern and beautifully maintained interior, the property offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking something a little different from the traditional village home.
The property enjoys a convenient position close to the centre of Ardleigh, with a range of everyday amenities within easy walking distance.
These include a doctor’s surgery, local shop, Post Office, St Mary’s Church, recreation ground and a selection of places to eat.
For commuters, both Manningtree and Colchester mainline railway stations are within easy driving distance, providing direct services into London Liverpool Street, while Colchester City Centre is approximately five miles away.
The ground floor accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, incorporating a generous storage cupboard and access to a convenient downstairs WC.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical u-shaped layout and provides an excellent amount of worktop and cupboard space.
Internal double doors open from the hallway into the impressive dual-aspect living and dining room.
Offering plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining, the room benefits from windows to multiple aspects which allow an abundance of natural light to flow throughout the space.
Upstairs, the landing provides access to two bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a particularly characterful space, featuring a Velux window alongside useful built-in eaves storage.
The second bedroom is currently arranged as a home office but would comfortably serve as a single bedroom, nursery or dedicated workspace.
Completing the first floor is the recently renovated family bathroom, finished in a contemporary style and comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash basin.
Externally, the property benefits from access to a shared courtyard, one allocated parking space and a useful storage shed.
With its distinctive chapel-inspired appearance, history as the former Ardleigh Village Hall and modern, immaculately presented accommodation, this individual home provides an appealing combination of character, convenience and low-maintenance living within the heart of this popular Essex village.
