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 of £850,000-£875,000.
This beautifully restored three-bedroom barn is nestled on Leighs Road, Little Waltham, set within a generous plot and boasting uninterrupted views across open countryside.
Every aspect of the restoration honours the barn's original charm, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and traditional brickwork remain at the heart of the home’s character.
Step inside to find a spacious, light-filled open-plan living and dining area, where double-height ceilings and large glazed panels frame the rural panorama beyond.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully fitted to complement the barn's heritage - practical, understated and in keeping with the home’s character.
On the ground floor sits a double bedroom with its own en-suite, ideal for guests or single-level living.
Upstairs, two further double bedrooms await, each with vaulted ceilings and their own en- suites.
The principal bedroom is a delightful retreat, featuring exposed timbers, generous proportions, a private en-suite, and a dedicated dressing room for added convenience and privacy.
Outside, the barn is enveloped by a mature garden that stretches across a large private plot, offering perfect space for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in the open air, all while enjoying the sweeping countryside views.
Complementing the house is a spacious triple-bay cart lodge providing covered parking and ample storage. The setting is rural, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature yet not remote.
Little Waltham is a charming village with a welcoming community atmosphere, characterised by scenic walking routes, a historic river crossing, and local amenities in nearby Great Waltham and beyond.
For wider shops, restaurants, and services, Chelmsford is only around 5 miles away.
Commuters benefit from nearby Hatfield Peverel station (circa 6km), offering direct links to London; road access via the A12 and A140 are easily accessible. .
