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
Offering far more than the typical starter home, this stylish one-bedroom terraced property combines modern, well-planned accommodation with a ground-floor cloakroom, allocated parking and an impressive landscaped rear garden.
Situated within the popular Sharpes Meadow development by Persimmon Homes, the property features an unusual and highly practical design that is rarely available within the local area.
It would make an excellent first purchase, while also appealing to buyers looking to downsize or secure a low-maintenance home in Heybridge.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hall and a useful ground-floor cloakroom—an especially desirable feature in a one-bedroom property.
The remainder of the ground floor is dedicated to a bright and sociable open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.
Extending through the property, this versatile space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with the living area opening directly onto the rear garden.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and work surfaces, while a breakfast bar provides space for informal dining.
The open layout allows the kitchen, dining and living areas to flow naturally together, creating a comfortable and sociable heart to the home.
Upstairs, the generously proportioned double bedroom offers considerably more space than might be expected from a typical one-bedroom property.
A dedicated dressing area provides valuable room for wardrobes, drawers and additional storage without compromising the main sleeping space.
The bedroom is complemented by a well-appointed en-suite bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite and a shower over the bath. The rear garden is another standout feature.
Thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive yet manageable outdoor space, it includes a patio seating area, artificial lawn and decorative planting.
Ideal for relaxing, entertaining or dining outside, the garden also benefits from a substantial summerhouse, providing useful additional space and an appealing focal point.
An allocated parking space is conveniently positioned directly in front of the property.
