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.

Quote CC0810 when calling to view Guide price of £295,000 to £305,000 Welcome to Cressing Road, Braintree - A Beautifully Refurbished Character Home With A Garden To Love If you’ve been searching for your first home and want something with character, style and a garden you can actually enjoy, this beautifully refurbished two bedroom home could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Set within walking distance of Braintree town centre and the railway station, this charming home combines the character you hope to find in an older property with the modern comforts of a home that has been thoughtfully refurbished throughout by the current owners.
Step inside and the living room immediately gives you that feeling of home, with a feature fireplace and bay-fronted window adding plenty of character and natural light.
The separate dining room provides a lovely space for evenings with friends or relaxed dinners.
The recently replaced kitchen is stylish and timeless, with plenty of cupboard space and a practical layout.
A door leads directly out to the garden, making it easy to take life outside when the weather allows.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, with bedroom two offering the added benefit of a useful storage cupboard and access through to the stunning recently replaced bathroom, it is a lovely space to start and end your day.
The current owners have refurbished the property extensively, including new electrics, plumbing and boiler, creating a home where you can simply unpack, settle in and enjoy it without having to take on the work yourself.
And then there’s the garden... South facing and extending to over 90ft, this is a fantastic amount of outdoor space for a two bedroom home.
The garden begins with a generous patio, perfect for summer evenings, morning coffee or entertaining friends, before opening onto a large lawn bordered by mature planting.
Towards the rear, mature shrubbery creates a natural divide, with the space offering plenty of possibilities for a vegetable garden, summer house or simply a quiet corner to escape to.
There is also a newly replaced outside w/c and storage room, both with full electrics and plumbing and currently used as a useful utility space.
A side gate provides direct access between the front and rear, while the driveway offers off street parking. The location is another real highlight.
You can walk into Braintree town centre for your everyday essentials, shops, cafés and restaurants, while Braintree railway station is also within easy reach, providing a branch line service towards London Liverpool Street.
Braintree Shopping Village is close by too, and the A120 is conveniently accessible for commuting further afield.
This is a home that gives you the convenience of town living without sacrificing your own outdoor space.
For a first-time buyer, it offers a rare combination of character, contemporary refurbishment, off street parking and a south facing garden over 90ft, all in a location where you can leave the car at home and walk to so much of what Braintree has to offer.
