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
To be transformed - and to help illustrate its potential, two of the images have been ai-visualised to show just how impressive this property could look with a little imagination and investment.
Inside, the home offers a spacious, naturally bright living and dining area - a great canvas for a buyer looking to put their own stamp on a space.
The conservatory extends the living area and opens directly onto the rear garden, adding versatility as a home office, playroom, or relaxation space once updated to your taste.
Outside, the low-maintenance patio garden provides a manageable outdoor space with practical features that are easy to overlook yet genuinely useful for day-to-day living.
On-street parking is available within the cul-de-sac. Marlborough Close sits in a quiet cul-de-sac setting in Littlemore, one of Oxford's most well-connected neighbourhoods.
The Oxford Science Park, Kassam Stadium, and local shops are all easily accessible, along with frequent bus routes into the city centre.
For everyday essentials, a Sainsbury's superstore, Templars Square Shopping Centre, and Cowley Retail Park - home to Marks & Spencer and Tesco - are all within easy reach.
Florence Park and the Sandford Lock offer green space just a short distance away, while gyms and leisure facilities, including David Lloyd, are close at hand.
Oxford city centre, Cowley Road, and Oxford Rail Station are all easily reached by bus or bicycle.
Looking ahead, the area is set to benefit from the reopening of the Cowley Branch Line railway station, expected between 2028 and 2030, which will provide direct rail links to Oxford and beyond - an exciting prospect for long-term value.
Superfast and Ultrafast broadband is available, according to Ofcom. For mobile voice and data coverage, please refer to the Ofcom mobile checker at .
