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
Immaculate two-bedroom detached bungalow on Broad Road, Braintree, with stunning field views, generous garden, parking, extension potential, and superb access to A120 and Freeport in a semi-rural setting.
Where countryside calm meets everyday convenience If you’ve been holding out for a bungalow that actually delivers - this is the one.
Set along the ever-popular Broad Road, this impressive and immaculate two-bedroom detached bungalow sits proudly on a generous plot, offering semi-rural living with postcard-worthy open field views to the front.
Inside, the home has already been thoughtfully extended, creating beautifully balanced living space that’s ready to enjoy from day one - yet still leaves exciting potential to extend further (subject to permissions).
Outside, the lovely-sized rear garden is perfect for summer entertaining, green-fingered projects, or simply soaking up the peace and quiet. And when reality calls? You’re perfectly placed.
Quick access to the A120, easy links to Freeport, and all the convenience Braintree has to offer - without sacrificing that countryside feel. This is one of those homes that doesn’t shout...
