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
Guide Price £650,000 - £675,000 Positioned within Chelmsford’s sought-after tree lined Avenues, and within walking distance of the renowned grammar schools and train station is this extended and recently renovated four-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house, which brings together traditional character and contemporary family living.
A two-storey side extension and single-storey rear addition have created generous accommodation, with a light-filled kitchen/dining room and a rear garden extending to 125ft providing particular highlights.
The entrance hallway offers built-in storage and a conveniently positioned downstairs cloakroom.
To the front, the spacious lounge retains a welcoming, separate setting for relaxation, with a shuttered bow window, feature fireplace and recently fitted bespoke bookcases to either side.
Across the rear, the kitchen/dining room is the focal point of the house.
Wide bi-folding doors and a skylight draw in natural light, while the doors open directly onto the large paved patio, connecting the principal entertaining space with the garden.
A substantial island with quartz worktops provides a striking centrepiece, complemented by integrated appliances and a cupboard discreetly housing the gas boiler.
Water-fed underfloor heating serves the ground floor, with the exception of the lounge.
A separate utility room includes a butler sink and built-in storage, with access to a useful boot/storage room and the integral garage.
The garage is large enough to accommodate a modern car, equipped with an electric roller door and inspection pit, adding practical appeal beyond everyday storage.
Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from an en-suite shower room.
The second bedroom features a front bow window and wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes, while the third is another double. A good-sized fourth bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe cupboard.
All bedrooms have fitted shutters, and the landing provides an airing cupboard. The fully tiled family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite.
To the front, the driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles.
The rear garden offers an extensive lawn and a broad, modern paved terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining, with an unoverlooked aspect enhancing its appeal.
The setting adds to the attraction, with riverside walks at the bottom of the road and a nearby parade of shops at the other end, bringing outdoor recreation and everyday convenience within easy reach.
Anti-Money Laundering Checks and Legal Support: A mandatory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) check is required on all buyers and sellers and is facilitated via our legal partner at a cost of £65 per property payable upon instruction.
