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
This well-presented four-bedroom semi-detached home sits in the ever-popular village of Great Totham and offers comfortable family living with plenty of scope to extend in the future (subject to planning).
You enter through a handy porch into a welcoming hallway, which also gives access to a ground floor cloakroom.
The main living room is a cosy space centred around an attractive open fireplace – perfect for cooler evenings.
To the rear, the modern open-plan kitchen/dining room provides a bright and sociable hub for everyday family life.
It offers a practical layout for cooking, dining and entertaining, and is complemented by a useful utility room and separate boot room for extra storage and day-to-day organisation.
A real bonus is the impressive home office/games room. This flexible space can be used in many ways depending on your needs – ideal for working from home, hobbies, or as a playroom.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, making the layout ideal for a busy household.
Outside, the property sits on a generous triangular plot with both rear and side gardens, giving lots of space for relaxing, gardening or children to play. There is also off-road parking.
The size of the plot offers excellent potential for future extensions or alterations (STPP), allowing buyers to create something truly tailored to their needs.
Great Totham itself is a highly regarded Essex village, offering a peaceful rural feel while being well connected to nearby towns including Maldon and Colchester.
The village has a primary school, local pubs and useful community facilities, as well as attractive countryside walks.
With easy access to the A12, it’s a great choice for families and commuters looking for village living without losing convenient transport links.
