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
A 5-bedroom detached house of about 1800 sq.
Ft, with extensive, well-planned family accommodation, a double garage, a large garden in a particularly quiet position, just 10 minutes from Cambridge, This deceptively spacious house has been well designed and thoughtfully laid out to create a bright, open feel and offer large families a versatile living space.
This non-estate, individual house has a large living room with a dual aspect, including doors to the garden, and a fireplace with a wood burner.
Double doors lead to the dining room, which also opens to a large kitchen, which has a range of good quality units and extensive quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a tiled floor.
There is a useful utility room with fitted units and a door to the garden. A study, cloakroom, WC and a large reception hall complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, there is a galleried landing off which are five bedrooms, all of which are a good size, and the main room has a re-fitted ensuite shower room and WC.
The family bathroom has also been refitted and includes a shower over the bath and a WC. The house has oil-fired central heating, double glazing, and a solar system providing hot water.
The house has plenty of parking at the front as well as a double garage with storage space above. The remainder of the front garden is low-maintenance and has raised beds.
Side access leads to the rear garden, which is mainly lawned, and there is a patio adjoining the house.
The garden is enclosed by fencing and has a good size, insulated studio, perfect as a work-from-home space, a teenager's den or a workshop What3words: ///bedding.octagonal.fizzle Agents' note: The driveway is shared with the neighbouring properties, and the cost of upkeep is shared.
