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
Quote Ref: 843358 when calling If you've got your finger on the (Urban) Pulse, it means you're bang up to date with all the latest trends, fashions and fads of your local surroundings...
And that's exactly what you can expect when you become a resident of this rather fashionable, centrally located refurbished apartment block.
Converted from a former office building in 2005, this modernist structure has a distinct industrial 'loft apartment' vibe, complete with exposed pipework in the communal corridors, feature high ceilings and crisp white walls, creating a monochromatic, minimalist blank canvas.
Basically, it's like living in your very own Central London art gallery - just without the London prices!
And don't be afraid to slap a bit of colour on that pristine canvas and make the place your own. We're not saying you have to go full Picasso, but it is allowed.
Located on the second floor, this fresh and airy apartment offers two double bedrooms, a spacious kitchen/living room with French doors opening onto your very own private terrace, and a stylish bathroom.
Private residents' parking is accessed via secure electric gates, meaning your car can stay safe and sound while you're busy doing literally anything other than driving it. Everyone's a winner.
Urban Pulse is literally in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Wickford Town Centre, with a host of trendy cafés, gyms, clothing shops and independent retailers right on your doorstep.
But here's the clever bit: Because the apartment is positioned at the rear of the building, once those doors are closed, the hustle and bustle stays firmly outside, leaving you with peace and quiet when it's time to settle down and binge Netflix.
Important stuff. This is also great news for those working from home, with the second bedroom making an ideal study/home office.
So you can look incredibly professional on Zoom while secretly wearing pyjama bottoms. We won't tell.
Billericay, Basildon and Rayleigh are all easily accessible when you fancy a wider range of retail, fitness and leisure facilities. Want even more good news?
Wickford Train Station is a mere five-minute walk away (assuming you're not stopping for coffee or distracted by a shop window), offering frequent services to London Liverpool Street and Southend.
Wickford Primary School and North Crescent Primary School are within easy reach, whilst Castledon and Beauchamps schools cater for older children.
Whether you're a Single occupant preferred, a small family, a couple or a downsizer, this gorgeous, modern apartment could make the perfect home, giving you a tranquil sanctuary smack bang in the middle of the hub of the community.
And if that wasn't enough good news, if you're a first time buyer or want to save on removal costs, this stunning apartment is available to buy fully furnished!
In other words, you get the best of both worlds: All the convenience, shops, cafés, transport links and town-centre buzz right outside your door, with a peaceful little retreat waiting for you when you get home.
Now that's what we call having your cake and eating it... Preferably on the terrace. Living room/Kitchen 20.5 x 11.8ft 6.2 x 3.6m Bedroom One 11.8 x 7.6ft 3.6 x 2.3m Bedroom Two 7.9 x 8ft 2.4 z 2.3m
