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 well positioned three bedroom semi-detached home, tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular village of Takeley.
Offering approximately 1,200 sq ft of internal accommodation, a larger than average south-facing rear garden and driveway parking, this is a fantastic family home with generous and versatile living space throughout.
The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to a good-sized living room positioned at the front of the home.
This is a comfortable everyday living space, with a large window allowing for plenty of natural light.
From here, the accommodation flows into a useful dining area, which provides a natural link through to the kitchen and dining space at the rear.
The kitchen has been recently updated and is fitted with a range of modern units, work surfaces and space for appliances.
There is also ample room for a dining table, making this a brilliant social space for day-to-day family life.
Double doors open directly onto the garden, with an additional window and side door also providing access and lovely views across the rear.
A real benefit of the ground floor is the additional reception room, currently arranged as a snug/study.
This is a highly versatile space which could work well as a home office, playroom, second sitting room or even a fourth bedroom if required.
There is also a handy utility room with further space for appliances and direct access out to the garden, along with a downstairs WC.
Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable double rooms, along with a third single bedroom.
A modern family bathroom serves the first floor, while a side window on the landing helps bring in additional natural light. Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature of the home.
Larger than average, south-facing and beautifully maintained, it offers an excellent space for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the sun throughout the day.
To the front, the property also benefits from driveway parking.
