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
Situated along the ever-popular Harsnett Road in Colchester, this three-bedroom bay-fronted semi-detached home presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and add their own personal stamp to a generously proportioned property in a highly convenient location.
The position is ideal for commuters and families alike, with Colchester City Centre and Colchester City railway station both within easy reach, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street.
A variety of local shops and amenities are close by for everyday convenience, while the well-loved Old Heath Recreation Ground is just a short walk away, providing open green space perfect for leisure, dog walking and outdoor activities.
The area is also well served by a selection of local primary and secondary schools, making it a popular choice for families.
The accommodation is spacious throughout and begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the generous proportions on offer.
To the front of the property is a large bay-fronted lounge, filled with natural light and featuring double doors opening into the dining room, creating a flexible and sociable living arrangement.
To the rear, the kitchen is notably large, offering excellent potential for reconfiguration or extension (subject to the usual consents) and provides direct access to the private rear garden.
While the kitchen — along with the remainder of the property — does require modernisation, it offers a superb blank canvas for those looking to create a home tailored to their own tastes.
The first floor continues to impress with three generous bedrooms, all well-proportioned, alongside the family bathroom.
Externally, the home benefits from a private rear garden, further enhancing the appeal for families or those seeking outdoor space.
