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 £475,000 - £500,000** Positioned in a truly special setting along Quayside Parade, this exceptional four-bedroom modern townhouse offers rare riverside living in the heart of the highly desirable village of Rowhedge, with uninterrupted views across the Roman River.
This is a home defined as much by its lifestyle as its accommodation.
Enjoying a wonderful southerly aspect to the front, the property benefits from a private terrace, balcony, and a top-floor Juliet balcony.
All perfectly placed to take full advantage of the ever-changing waterfront outlook and surrounding countryside.
Presented in excellent order throughout, the home is neutrally decorated and ready for immediate occupation, with thoughtfully arranged accommodation set across three spacious floors.
At its heart lies a generous kitchen/dining/family room, an impressive, light-filled space designed for modern living.
French doors open onto both the front terrace and rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining.
Practicality is equally well considered, with a separate utility room providing additional storage and direct garden access, alongside a ground floor cloakroom.
The first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which enjoys direct access to the river-facing balcony via French doors, creating a peaceful spot to take in the views.
A third bedroom, currently fitted with built-in desks, provides an ideal home office or flexible living space. These rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Occupying the top floor, the property continues to impress.
A stunning, light-filled lounge with a Juliet balcony perfectly frames far-reaching river and countryside views an ideal retreat to relax and unwind.
The principal bedroom is also located on this level, benefiting from its own en suite shower room. Externally, the property offers the best of both aspects.
The south-facing front terrace and balcony ensure an abundance of natural light and sunshine throughout the day, while the north-facing rear garden provides a cooler, more shaded space ideal during warmer months.
Rowhedge itself is a vibrant and well-regarded riverside village, offering a strong sense of community alongside a range of everyday amenities, including two popular public houses, a local shop, café, and regular food offerings.
The village is particularly known for its active calendar of events, including regattas, live music, and seasonal celebrations along the quay.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding area provides a wealth of scenic walks, from riverside paths leading towards Colchester Hythe, to countryside routes and nearby nature reserves.
A seasonal foot ferry offers convenient access to the neighbouring town of Wivenhoe, further enhancing the appeal of this unique waterside location.
