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
**Large Detached Family Home In Popular Essex Village** Set back from the road and offering plenty of off-road parking, this beautifully presented and spacious detached home has been thoughtfully extended and improved by the current owners to create a bright, spacious and versatile family home arranged over three floors.
From the moment you step inside, there's a real sense of space and light.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for modern living and perfect for everything from busy family breakfasts to entertaining friends.
Stylish, practical and filled with natural light, it's a space that brings everyone together.
The ground floor also benefits from a useful study, ideal for those working from home, alongside a contemporary shower room and well-proportioned living and sitting area accommodation that offers flexibility for growing families.
Across the upper floors, you'll find generous bedrooms, complemented by a modern family bathroom.
The three-storey layout provides excellent separation of space, giving everyone room to relax, work and unwind together with an excellent large loft room on the top floor - as also depicted on the floorplan.
The property offers aircon in all rooms upstairs and underfloor heating in the whole kitchen/living area.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a private setting for outdoor dining, children's play or simply enjoying the warmer months.
To the front, the substantial driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. Situated within the highly sought-after village of West Bergholt, the property enjoys the best of both worlds.
A welcoming village community, local amenities, schools and countryside walks are all close by, while Colchester city centre and excellent transport links are within easy reach.
