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 beautifully presented, upgraded and thoughtfully improved three bedroom semi-detached home, ideally positioned within the highly regarded Forest Hall Park development in Stansted, offering convenient access to the train station and well-regarded local schooling.
This fantastic home has been lovingly maintained by the current owners and offers modern, stylish accommodation arranged over three floors.
The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a useful downstairs WC.
To the front sits a well-proportioned living room, enjoying a pleasant outlook and providing a comfortable, separate reception space.
Double doors lead through to the heart of the home – a stunning kitchen/dining room, recently upgraded to a high standard.
This space has been designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, featuring a bright and contemporary finish, with a window and door opening directly onto the rear garden.
The first floor offers two well-balanced bedrooms, including a generous second bedroom overlooking the rear, and a third room currently used as a home office, but equally suited as a bedroom or nursery.
These are served by a modern, upgraded three-piece family bathroom. Occupying the entire top floor is an impressive principal suite.
This is a real highlight of the home, offering a spacious double bedroom, a sleek en-suite bathroom, and a rarely available walk-in wardrobe, providing excellent storage and a real sense of luxury.
Externally, the property enjoys a well-maintained East facing rear garden, offering a good degree of privacy and being largely unoverlooked.
The garden provides a great space to relax or entertain, with rear access leading to the garage and an allocated parking space beyond.
There is also ample on-road parking available nearby for visitors.
Further benefits include a number of thoughtful upgrades carried out by the current owners, including the installation of an air source heat pump, improving energy efficiency, along with an electric vehicle charging point to the rear.
There is also solar panels too, further adding to the efficiency of the property.
Stansted, and in particular Forest Hall Park, continues to be a highly desirable place to live, offering a great balance of convenience and community.
The development is well positioned for access to Stansted Mountfitchet train station, providing direct links into London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, while also being within easy reach of local shops, amenities, countryside walks and well-regarded schooling, making it an ideal location for families and commuters alike.
