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
McCartney Estate Agents are delighted to bring back to the market this particularly well-positioned ground-floor retirement apartment within the popular Godfrey Mews development, conveniently situated just off Moulsham Street and within easy reach of Chelmsford City Centre.
One of the real attractions of this apartment is its position within the development.
The generous lounge/dining room enjoys a delightful outlook across the beautifully maintained gardens, with large patio doors opening directly onto the apartment's private patio area and providing immediate access to the communal gardens beyond.
This creates a lovely connection between the accommodation and outside space and is a feature not enjoyed by every apartment within the development.
Internally, the property has been well cared for and offers comfortable, easily manageable accommodation.
The lounge provides ample room for both sitting and dining areas and features an attractive fireplace, while the adjoining fitted kitchen offers an excellent range of storage and work surfaces together with integrated cooking facilities.
The double bedroom is also a generous size and benefits from fitted mirrored wardrobes and an attractive garden outlook.
A modern shower room features a large walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash basin, while the entrance hallway provides additional useful storage.
Outside, the development is surrounded by beautifully established and exceptionally well-tended communal gardens, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, colourful planted borders and seating areas.
The apartment's own patio provides a pleasant spot for a table and chairs immediately outside the lounge before opening onto the wider gardens.
Godfrey Mews is conveniently positioned close to the shops, cafés and everyday amenities of Moulsham Street, while Chelmsford City Centre and the mainline railway station are also within walking distance.
Residents of the development benefit from a range of communal facilities, including a residents' lounge, laundry facilities, guest accommodation and communal parking, together with a security entry system and emergency assistance facilities.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a ground-floor apartment with the considerable advantage of direct outside access and a superb garden outlook.
We hold keys for the property and would strongly recommend an internal viewing.
