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 £300,000 to £325,000 - No Onward Chain – Viewings Available Now - This semi-detached home delivers space and proportions that are rarely found in a two-bedroom property.
The overall footprint is larger than many local three-bed houses, with high ceilings and well-balanced rooms that make the property feel comfortable rather than compact.
It has been carefully maintained by the current owner and is presented in excellent order throughout. The ground floor is dominated by a substantial double reception room extending over 25ft.
A bay window to the front brings in plenty of light, while French doors open onto a side courtyard area that leads through to the main garden, creating a natural connection between inside and out.
The room works equally well as a relaxed living space or for entertaining on a larger scale.
The kitchen/breakfast room is dual aspect and generously sized, with space and plumbing for all appliances including a full-size dishwasher.
There is ample worktop space, good storage and room for a table, making it a practical everyday space rather than simply a cooking area. A ground floor cloakroom/WC adds further convenience.
Upstairs, both bedrooms are genuine doubles. The principal bedroom to the front is particularly large and benefits from excellent natural light.
The second double bedroom overlooks the garden and is complemented by an adjoining dressing room which provides valuable storage and clear potential to create an en-suite, as the space sits directly next to the bathroom.
The bathroom is a standout feature of the house – a four-piece suite with a freestanding Victorian roll-top bath, a large walk-in rectangular shower cubicle and high-quality fittings, finished with a style that suits the character of the property.
Outside, the garden is private, well maintained and designed to be low maintenance, with the additional side courtyard offering a useful extra outdoor area accessed directly from the reception room.
Residents permit parking is available locally. The location is particularly convenient.
A range of everyday shops, including a Co-op, are moments away, while Southend Victoria and Southend Central mainline stations are within easy reach.
The seafront, beaches, parks and town centre are all close by, making this a practical choice for commuters and those wanting easy access to everything Southend has to offer.
