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
A superbly maintained four-bedroom family home in the popular village of Takeley, offering generous accommodation, an excellent garage and a long list of thoughtful upgrades by the current owners.
The property has been exceptionally well cared for and improved during the owners' time here, creating a home that is both stylish and ready to move straight into.
Extending to approximately 1,225 sq ft excluding the garage, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and combines practical family living with some particularly attractive finishing touches, including bespoke Sanderson shutters.
The ground floor is entered via a welcoming hallway with useful storage and a cloakroom/WC.
To the front is a well-appointed kitchen with a range of fitted cabinetry and a recently replaced oven, while the impressive sitting/dining room spans the rear of the house.
Measuring approximately 17'6" x 16'9", this is a fantastic everyday living and entertaining space, with French doors opening directly onto the garden.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms, making the layout particularly versatile for families, home working or guests.
The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
The owners have invested considerably in the presentation and finish of the property.
Improvements include bespoke Sanderson shutters, a professionally resprayed front door with a 10-year guarantee, treatment to the porch canopy, an improved front garden and a boarded loft providing valuable additional storage.
The existing TV and Sonos installation has also been carefully integrated with concealed cabling for a particularly clean finish, with selected fixtures and furnishings potentially available by separate negotiation.
Outside, the rear garden has been designed with low-maintenance living in mind, incorporating patio areas for seating and entertaining alongside artificial lawn.
There is direct access into the substantial attached garage, which measures approximately 23'5" x 9'11", while the driveway provides off-road parking to the front.
Takeley remains a particularly popular village for buyers looking for a balance between countryside living and excellent connectivity.
Local amenities are close at hand, while nearby Hatfield Forest and the Flitch Way provide miles of walking and cycling routes.
Bishop's Stortford and Great Dunmow are both within easy reach for a wider range of shops, restaurants and facilities, with convenient access to the M11, Stansted Airport and mainline rail services into London and Cambridge.
A genuinely well-kept and thoughtfully improved home which offers an excellent opportunity for its next owners.
