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
If you're searching for a property with genuine potential, this is an exciting opportunity to create something truly your own.
In need of full modernisation and renovation throughout, this vacant home offers a fantastic blank canvas for builders, investors or buyers looking to take on a rewarding project.
The property opens into a spacious lounge with plenty of room to reimagine the layout.
The kitchen provides an excellent foundation for a complete redesign, while the downstairs shower room is one of the more modern areas of the home.
As the property's only shower room, future owners may wish to explore relocating bathroom facilities upstairs, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, which is accessed via the second bedroom, creating an unconventional layout that presents opportunities for reconfiguration.
Outside is where the property's potential truly shines.
The substantial rear garden stretches well beyond the house and includes an outbuilding, greenhouse area, additional shed and established shrubs.
Predominantly laid to slabs, the space offers exceptional scope for landscaping, entertaining or even extending the property further, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
The location is equally appealing, with excellent access to Cambridge North Station and Cambridge railway station, convenient links to the A14, and the Science Park all within easy reach.
The Beehive Centre and Cambridge Retail Park are close by, providing a wide range of shops including Asda, M&S, and Lidl, along with several gyms.
Cambridge city centre is easily reached by bicycle or public transport, while nearby Ditton Meadows, Coldham's Common and Stourbridge Common offer extensive green spaces perfect for walking, cycling and enjoying the outdoors.
