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
Located on Captain Gardens, this beautifully presented 3-bedroom home has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded, creating a spacious and welcoming family property.
The location is ideal, within easy reach of Colchester Town Centre and the Train Station, giving convenient access to a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and local amenities.
Inside, the accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading to a cloakroom, followed by a well-equipped kitchen fitted with a range of eye- and base-level units, work surfaces, and integrated appliances.
The open-plan lounge/dining room has been extended to offer an excellent family living space, with doors opening onto the rear garden.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two good-sized bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the master bedroom on the top floor, complete with fitted wardrobes.
Outside, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped with low-maintenance astroturf and a paved seating area that’s perfect for family gatherings.
The property also benefits from two allocated parking spaces. Agents Note: We have been advised by the current owners that there is an annual estate charge of circa £150
