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
Occupying a generous plot on the highly sought-after Maldon Road, this substantial four bedroom semi-detached residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional potential in one of Chelmsford's most desirable locations.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is the perfect purchase for buyers looking to create a truly bespoke family home tailored to their own style and requirements.
Behind its attractive facade lies an incredibly spacious home, with well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
The property offers four excellent double bedrooms, making it perfectly suited to growing families or those requiring generous living space.
Whilst the home would benefit from modernisation, it provides an outstanding blank canvas, allowing the next owner complete creative freedom to redesign and transform every room into a stunning contemporary home.
Whether your vision is a stylish open-plan living space, luxurious bathrooms or a beautifully appointed kitchen, the possibilities here are endless. Externally, the property continues to impress.
The larger-than-average rear garden is a true highlight, enjoying a high degree of privacy with no overlooking properties, creating a peaceful haven for relaxing, entertaining and family life.
There is an abundance of outdoor space for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy or even scope for further enhancement, subject to the necessary permissions.
Adding further appeal is the exceptionally large double garage, providing outstanding versatility.
Whether utilised for secure parking, a workshop, home gym, studio or additional storage, it offers an invaluable space rarely found with properties of this style.
The property also benefits from ample off-road parking, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles. Location is another key feature of this fantastic home.
Maldon Road is one of Chelmsford's most established and well-connected residential addresses, offering the perfect balance of convenience and lifestyle.
Chelmsford city centre is approximately a 10-minute drive away, where you will find an excellent selection of independent boutiques, high street retailers, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with the mainline railway station providing direct services to London Liverpool Street - ideal for commuters.
For those seeking an even more convenient journey into the city, the Sandon Park & Ride is just a short walk from the property, offering a quick and stress-free route into the centre.
The area also enjoys excellent road links via the A12, access to highly regarded schools, nearby countryside walks and an array of local amenities, making it an exceptional place to call home.
Properties offering this combination of space, potential, a substantial private garden and such a prime Chelmsford location are increasingly difficult to find.
Whether you are searching for a long-term family home or an exciting renovation project with the opportunity to add significant value, this impressive property represents a truly outstanding opportunity and early viewing is highly recommended.
