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
For viewings please quote reference DE185 A rare opportunity to create a fantastic family home in one of Chelmsford’s most sought after locations.
Offered to the market chain free, this three bedroom home represents an exciting refurbishment opportunity with huge potential to extend and create something truly special.
One of the standout features is the substantial space to the side of the property, offering excellent scope for a significant side and rear extension, while there is also potential to extend into the loft, all subject to the relevant planning permissions.
The property is currently arranged with a front reception room, separate rear dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and family bathroom, providing a great starting point for someone looking to redesign and modernise the house to their own taste.
Outside, there is off road parking to the front, while the rear enjoys a south easterly facing garden, offering further potential to create a superb family entertaining space.
Location is another major selling point, Hillside Grove sits within the highly desirable Moulsham and Oaklands school catchments, making it particularly attractive for families.
Oaklands Park is just moments away, while Hylands Park, Chelmsford city centre and Chelmsford railway station are all within walking distance.
From the station, there are direct links into Stratford and London Liverpool Street, making the location ideal for commuters.
Properties offering this combination of location, plot size and genuine scope to add value are rarely available.
Whether you’re a family looking to create your idyllic long term home or an investor searching for a project with considerable potential, this is an opportunity well worth viewing.
