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
Offering generous and versatile accommodation, this spacious home is situated within the popular waterside village of Mayland and benefits from a large driveway, integral garage, impressive oak-framed sun room and wrap-around garden.
Mayland is a popular waterside village on the Essex coast, well regarded for its marina, scenic walks and relaxed village atmosphere.
Local amenities include shops, pubs, primary schools, recreational facilities and sailing opportunities, while Maldon, South Woodham Ferrers and Chelmsford are all accessible for a wider range of amenities and transport connections.
Internally, the substantial lounge flows into a dedicated dining area, creating an ideal space for family living and entertaining.
The modern kitchen is well appointed with integrated appliances, a wine fridge and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. A standout feature is the beautiful bespoke oak-framed sun room to the rear.
Flooded with natural light from an abundance of windows and skylights, bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The ground floor also offers a generously sized bedroom with French doors onto the garden, ideal for guests or use as a home office. A downstairs cloakroom completes this floor.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms, comprising a double and two singles, with potential to combine the two smaller rooms to create one larger bedroom, subject to any necessary consents.
The beautifully presented family bathroom features a separate shower and freestanding roll-top bath. Outside, the generous wrap-around garden provides plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining.
A useful outbuilding with electricity is currently used for storage but offers excellent potential as an office, gym, studio or hobby room.
To the front, a private driveway provides parking for up to three vehicles and leads to the single integral garage. Please be advised – this is a steel-framed property.
