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*** Located in the highly sought-after village of Elmstead, this three bedroom semi-detached home enjoys stunning views across open fields.
The village offers convenient local shopping facilities for everyday needs, while the historic city of Colchester is just a short drive away, providing a wider range of shops, bars, and restaurants.
The beautifully presented accommodation begins with a spacious entrance hall leading to a modern fitted kitchen complete with integrated appliances.
The lounge/diner provides an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining and flows into a conservatory, which features double-glazed doors opening onto the south-facing rear garden.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms and a recently renovated family bathroom. Outside, the generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a patio area, perfect for outdoor dining.
A gate provides access to the driveway, which offers ample off road parking and leads to a detached garage. Palmer & Partners would recommend an early internal viewing to avoid disappointment.
