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
Guide Price: £900,000 - £1,000,000 An exceptional Grade II Listed five-bedroom detached farmhouse with a two-bedroom detached annexe, situated on a generous three-quarters of an acre plot in the highly sought-after Stanway area to the west of Colchester.
Dating back to the 17th century, this distinguished home exudes character and charm throughout, showcasing a wealth of original period features tastefully complemented by sympathetic renovations carried out by the current owners.
Perfectly positioned within walking distance of local amenities, countryside walks, and well-regarded schools, the property also offers convenient access to the A12 and is just a short drive from Stane Retail Park, as well as being served by a direct bus route to Colchester’s historic city centre.
The spacious and well-presented accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway featuring an ornate staircase rising to the first floor.
The ground floor flows beautifully between reception spaces, including a gracious living room with feature fireplace and double doors to the garden, an elegant dining room and a cosy sitting room housing a log burner within a striking brick surround.
The farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room is both functional and inviting, fitted with a range of cupboards and work surfaces, integrated appliances, an electric hob and built-in oven, along with a traditional Aga.
Practical additions such as a rear lobby, boot room, utility room and ground floor shower room enhance everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress, offering five good-sized bedrooms.
The master suite enjoys dual-aspect windows, fitted wardrobes and a beautiful period fireplace, while bedroom two features an en-suite shower room and additional storage.
The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned, and the family bathroom provides a four-piece suite including bath and separate shower.
