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
Established Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Home with 160' Rear Garden and Excellent Potential An established semi-detached home occupying a particularly good position, set back from the road within one of the most sought-after villages close to Chelmsford.
Accommodation including three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, lounge, separate dining room and kitchen, together with off-road parking.
The house would benefit from a degree of modernisation, providing an excellent opportunity for an incoming purchaser to update and personalise to their own taste and requirements.
A particular feature is the large rear garden, extending to approximately 160' in length, offering an excellent scope for landscaping, outdoor entertaining and potentially extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Attached to the rear of the main house is a substantial outhouse which currently requires complete refurbishment or replacement.
This provides potential for a much larger kitchen, additional accommodation, a home office, annexe-style space or other uses, subject to the appropriate permissions.
The property also benefits from gas central heating and off-road parking.
The location is a major attraction, being situated within one of the most desirable villages in the Chelmsford area and close to Sandon Secondary School, making the property particularly worthy of consideration by families and buyers seeking a home with scope for improvement and significant outside space.
Sandon is a picturesque village approximately 4 miles east of Chelmsford City centre.
Sandon is a largely agricultural area with a vast network of footpaths and bridleways over some delightful Essex countryside and is best represented by a Village Green with the Crown Inn at one end and the ancient Church of St Andrew's to the side.
There is a park and ride scheme approximately 1 mile away offering a direct service into Chelmsford City centre with its mainline railway station serving London Liverpool Street.
Sandon has a secondary school with pre-schools available in the neighbouring villages.
Further educational facilities and amenities can be found in Chelmsford including private and public schooling and a wide collection of High Street shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars.
