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.

*GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £550,000* Offered to the market with no onward chain, Palmer & Partners are pleased to offer for sale this three-bedroom detached bungalow, backing onto open fields and situated in the highly sought-after village of West Bergholt.
The property enjoys excellent access to the A12 and is just a short bus or car journey from Colchester's historic city centre.
The village itself offers a range of amenities all within walking distance, including a doctor's surgery, newsagent, two public houses with restaurants, and a Co-op with a Post Office.
Internally, the property offers spacious accommodation throughout, comprising an entrance hallway with integral access to the garage, a WC, and a generous dining area that flows seamlessly into the living room, which enjoys views over and access to the large rear garden.
The kitchen enjoys plenty of natural light and is thoughtfully laid out, with good storage and work surfaces.
There are three generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, along with a spacious four-piece family bathroom.
Externally, the property is enhanced by a large, well-maintained rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrub borders, and a patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
The garden backs directly onto open fields, offering a lovely sense of privacy and countryside views.
To the front, there is a lawned garden with established hedging and a driveway to the side providing off-road parking, leading up to the garage.
