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.

Residing within a stones throw of Colchester's historic and vibrant city centre, it offers a wealth of useful shops/boutiques, bars, restaurants, amenities and transport links within easy reach, making this wonderful home ideal for a wide range of buyers.
Key highlights include; a welcoming entrance hall, downstairs cloakroom, utility room, reception room with bay window, snug/dining room, focal kitchen-diner, three first floor bedrooms, first floor family bathroom and a master bedroom with en-suite shower room on the second floor.
Complete with a generously proportioned private and enclosed rear garden, as well as the added luxury of off road parking (a rare find for the immediate area!) this home simply must be viewed to be appreciated in its entirety.
Upon entering the property you will be immediately greeted by a welcoming entrance hall with traditional panelled doors and stairs rising to the first floor.
Cleverley incorporated under the stairs is a ground floor W.C. Positioned to the front of the home is a warm and inviting reception room with an imposing bay window.
The property enjoys the benefit of a separate utility room, with space and plumbing for white goods, as well as side access.
A sizeable dining/snug room is complimented with a feature fireplace and seamlessly flows via an open plan design into a kitchen/dining/family room.
This room is flooded with a wealth of natural light and notable specifications include; an array of modern fitted units, integrated appliances, tiled splashback and flooring, Velux window and oversized patio doors to a private and enclosed rear garden.
