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
Set back from the road in a particularly attractive position on the edge of Haslingfield, this two-bedroom semi-detached home occupies a generous plot with a substantial rear garden and offers an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to modernise, extend and create a home tailored to their own requirements.
The accommodation extends to around 72 sqm / 775 sq ft and is well arranged, with a dual-aspect sitting and dining room.
The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and offers direct access to the garden, while upstairs there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom.
The property would benefit from comprehensive updating, presenting a clear scope to improve both the accommodation and energy efficiency and increase its value.
Subject to the necessary consents, the generous plot also offers potential for extension, allowing the house to evolve with changing needs.
Outside, the property is set back behind a lawned front garden with a driveway providing off-street parking.
The rear garden is a particular feature, extending well beyond the house and offering a combination of open lawn, established planting, mature trees and a greenhouse.
The depth of the plot creates a sense of privacy and provides ample space for family life, gardening or future enlargement.
Haslingfield remains one of the area's most sought-after villages, combining a strong sense of community with easy access to Cambridge.
Positioned on the village edge, the house offers countryside walks from the doorstep, while the nearby cycle route provides a direct connection to Grantchester and onward into Cambridge, making it an appealing option for both commuters and those who enjoy exploring the surrounding countryside without relying on a car.
The village itself offers everyday amenities, including a primary school, a village shop, a public house, and a recreation ground.
For buyers seeking a home with genuine potential in an excellent village setting, this is a property that rewards both imagination and investment.
