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 recently refurbished three-bedroom link detached home occupying a pleasant position within a quiet residential cul-de-sac, with a garage, private south facing garden, and the benefit of no upward chain.
Benefiting from a c-rated EPC, the property is economical to run and has undergone substantial improvement works, including a newly fitted kitchen and bathroom, providing buyers with an opportunity to complete the finishing touches to their own taste while avoiding the disruption and cost of major refurbishment The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the front door opening to the entrance hall.
There is a generous dual aspect living room, with the sitting area positioned at the front of the property, with a large window drawing in plenty of natural light.
To the rear, the dining area overlooks and opens onto the garden via sliding patio doors, creating a natural connection between the living accommodation and outside space.
The kitchen has recently been refitted with a contemporary range of high-gloss units and extensive work surfaces, offering ample storage and preparation space.
There is also scope for a purchaser to complete the final decorative elements to their own specification.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, comprising two comfortable doubles and a third bedroom which could equally serve as a nursery, dressing room, or home office.
The bathroom has been comprehensively modernised and fitted with a contemporary white suite complemented by stylish tiling.
Outside, the property benefits from a private, south facing rear garden that has been cleared and prepared, providing a blank canvas for landscaping and planting.
This will particularly appeal to buyers looking to create an outdoor space tailored to their own requirements.
To the front, there is driveway parking and an attached garage offering useful storage, workshop space, or potential for future conversion, subject to any necessary consents.
The property is offered for sale with no upward chain, allowing for a straightforward and potentially quicker move.
With the major improvements already completed, it represents an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a home they can personalise without the need for extensive renovation.
Sawston is one of the largest villages to the near south of the city, situated about 3 miles from the city boundary and around 4 miles from Addenbrookes Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
