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
Positioned within a quiet cul de sac on the ever popular Pampas Close in Highwoods, this spacious and well presented four bedroom detached family home offers an excellent balance of modern living, practicality and location.
Highwoods remains one of Colchester’s most sought after areas, particularly for families, thanks to its excellent schooling and superb access to amenities.
The property is ideally placed within walking distance of The Gilberd School, Highwoods Country Park and the Northern Gateway Leisure Park, with Colchester North Station also within easy reach for direct links to London Liverpool Street, alongside convenient access to the A12.
Internally, the home is bright, spacious and well arranged. The ground floor begins with a welcoming entrance hall, leading into a generous living room filled with natural light.
To the rear, the open plan kitchen and dining area offers ample worktop and storage space, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, with doors opening onto the garden.
A ground floor cloakroom completes this level.
Upstairs, there are four well proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with mirrored wardrobes and en suite, alongside a modern family bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from an enclosed rear garden with patio and lawn, a garage, driveway, and an additional off-road parking space, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.
A fantastic opportunity to secure a long term family home in a prime Colchester location.
