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
A beautifully presented and exceptionally spacious two-bedroom ground floor apartment, forming part of an impressive character conversion on one of Chelmsford's most established roads.
Finished to a high standard throughout and benefitting from private parking, this superb home combines character, contemporary living and an extremely convenient location.
Offered for sale with no onward chain.
Set within the attractive Clarence House development on New London Road, this impressive ground floor apartment offers generous, well-planned accommodation and would make an excellent home for professionals, couples, downsizers or buyers looking for a high-quality property within easy reach of Chelmsford city centre.
Clarence House is an attractive period building that was sympathetically converted into private apartments, retaining the character and presence of the original property while providing modern residential accommodation.
The development is approached via an attractive carriage driveway, which provides access to the parking areas and gives the building an appealing sense of arrival.
Internally, the apartment has been finished to a very high standard, with a contemporary specification complementing the character of the building.
At the heart of the apartment is the impressive open-plan kitchen and lounge, creating a wonderfully sociable and versatile living space.
The fully fitted kitchen provides plenty of space for cooking and entertaining and flows seamlessly into the lounge area, making this an ideal room for both everyday living and hosting family and friends.
The property provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying the particularly desirable benefit of Jack and Jill access to the main bathroom.
The bathroom can be accessed directly from the principal bedroom as well as from the hallway, providing the convenience of an en-suite arrangement whilst remaining accessible to guests and occupants of the second bedroom.
Unusually for a two-bedroom apartment, the property also benefits from a separate WC, an excellent addition that further enhances the practicality of the accommodation, particularly when entertaining.
Externally, the apartment benefits from private parking, a significant advantage for a property positioned so close to central Chelmsford.
The impressive carriage driveway and character surroundings also help set Clarence House apart from more conventional modern apartment developments. Location The location is another major attraction.
Clarence House is situated on New London Road, within easy reach of the centre of Chelmsford and within walking distance of the popular Moulsham Street area.
