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
Set along The Street in Roxwell, opposite the historic St Michael and All Angels Church, Cottage End is a charming three-bedroom Grade II listed period cottage with a weatherboarded exterior and an appealing variety of period features.
Exposed timbers, brick fireplaces and individual room shapes give the house its distinctive character with great views from the front windows, while two reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining breakfast room and facilities on both floors provide a practical layout.
The sitting/dining room forms a welcoming centre to the ground floor, with exposed ceiling beams and a substantial Inglenook fireplace, with a cosy wood burning stove creating an attractive backdrop for both everyday living and entertaining.
There is room for dining and seating, allowing this space to serve several purposes without sacrificing its cottage atmosphere.
A separate living room offers a second place to relax, with a projecting front window, an additional side window and a fireplace with flanking book cases providing a focal point.
The connection between the reception rooms allows them to work together when hosting, while retaining the option of separate spaces for quieter evenings.
The kitchen complements the character of the house with painted cabinetry, timber work surfaces, a butler-style sink and tiled flooring beneath exposed ceiling beams.
It opens into the breakfast room, providing a more informal eating area alongside the staircase.
Beyond, a useful boot room offers access to the garden, with a ground-floor shower room adding everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the landing incorporates a study area, creating a useful spot for a desk away from the main living accommodation.
Three bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests or additional workspace, with features including exposed timbers, sloping ceilings and a brick chimney breast adding interest to the accommodation.
A separate bathroom serves this floor, complementing the shower room below. Outside, the enclosed courtyard-style garden provides a manageable setting for seating, pots and outdoor relaxation.
Brick boundary walls and planted borders give the space a sheltered feel, while access through the boot room connects it to the house.
Combining a recognisable cottage exterior with flexible living space, Cottage End offers the opportunity to enjoy a period home in a village setting close to Chelmsford.
