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
** chain free: Lateral living in A village location** Positioned in this established cul-de-sac location is this lovely two/three bedroom, one/two reception semi-detached bungalow.
This sizeable home is conveniently just round the corner from local shops, whilst also being just a short drive to the City of Colchester.
Railway stations at Great Bentley, Alresford and Wivenhoe also provide access into London's Liverpool Street Station and the A12 corridor.
Guide Price £310,000-£315,000 Versatility is the key factor, as the current set up allows for both a prominent living room, whilst a second reception (ideal dining room) also gives way to a generous garden room/conservatory with views over the garden and open aspect to the rear.
Two bedrooms currently exist, however, potential for a third bedroom if rooms were re designated, could be achieved.
The front garden is open plan with ample off road parking via the driveway, whilst the rear garden is easily manageable.
