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
Garden lovers, this one’s for you... Say hello to this stylish two-bedroom ground floor maisonette in Chelmer Village, Chelmsford – a lovely home with a rather fabulous trick up its sleeve...
Direct access to its own low-maintenance rear garden! And yes, we’re making a fuss about the garden because, quite frankly, it deserves it.
For a maisonette, having your own outside space straight from the property is a real treat – morning coffee, summer drinks, alfresco dinners or simply somewhere to sit back and enjoy the sunshine.
Even better? It’s designed to be low maintenance, so there’s more time for relaxing and considerably less time wrestling with a lawnmower!
Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming entrance porch leading into a well-presented home that has already benefited from some thoughtful improvements.
The lounge/dining room is a comfortable and versatile space with new flooring, giving it a fresh, modern feel and plenty of room for both relaxing on the sofa and gathering around the dining table.
The modern Shaker-style kitchen keeps things smart and timeless, offering a practical space for everything from a quick morning coffee to attempting that recipe you saved on Instagram three months ago...
There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with fitted and built-in wardrobe storage providing that all-important place to hide away the clothes, shoes and the inevitable “i’ll sort that out later” pile!
The accommodation is completed by the bathroom, while upgraded heaters add another useful improvement to the home. Outside is where this property really earns its brownie points.
The private, low-maintenance rear garden can be accessed directly from the property and also benefits from rear access, making it practical as well as enjoyable.
And because nobody wants to play “where am I parking tonight?”, the property comes with one allocated parking space, plus shared visitor parking for when friends and family pop over.
Set within popular Chelmer Village, the property is conveniently positioned for Chelmsford and the surrounding amenities.
Ground floor living, two bedrooms, modern touches, useful storage, allocated parking and your own garden? Now that’s a combination worth viewing.
Get in touch to arrange your viewing – before someone else bags the garden! 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.
