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
Within easy reach of Chelmsford City centre and the train station, this three-bedroom, two reception semi-detached home is a fantastic home for first time buyers or young familes looking for the first family home.
Positioned on a corner plot, the home benefits from a gated entrance leading to off-road parking, garage and a private, enclosed rear garden.
You enter the property into a central entrance hall, which provides access to the main living areas and stairs to the first floor.
To the front, there is a dining room, offering a good space for everyday meals or occasional use.
The lounge sits alongside and provides a comfortable living area, with enough room for typical seating arrangements.
From the lounge, you continue through to the kitchen, which is positioned at the rear of the property and is conveniently located for day-to-day use.
The home offers gas fired central heating with the boiler being refitted in February 2025.
Beyond the kitchen is the conservatory, which adds some extra ground floor space and can be used in a variety of ways depending on needs. From here, there is direct access out to the garden.
Upstairs, the first floor includes a main bedroom, along with two further bedrooms, all of a practical size. The family bathroom is also located on this floor and serves all three bedrooms.
Outside, the property sits on a corner plot, which allows for a bit more space around the home compared to others nearby.
There is off-road parking and access to a garage, providing useful storage or parking options.
