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 charming bay fronted Victorian house, with potential to extend, in a sought-after prime south city location.
City Centre 1 mile, Mainline Railway Station 0.5 of a mile, (Liverpool Street and King's Cross lines), M11 (junction 11) 2 miles, (distances are approximate).
34 Marshall Road is a charming bay fronted Victorian property built with brick elevations under a tiled roof.
During the current ownership, a number of significant improvements have been undertaken, including the full professional refurbishment of the original sash windows, including draught proofing, re sanding of the original floors, and the installation of a new boiler and new slate roof, just over 2 years ago.
The house retains many beautiful period features typical of the era, all of which have been carefully maintained and restored.
These include sash windows, fireplaces, original wooden floors and doors, cornicing, and attractive picture rails, all combining to create a warm and characterful home.
Further enhancements include the re landscaping of the rear garden along with various cosmetic improvements throughout.
The property has previously benefitted from full planning consent for a loft conversion and side extension, which could be re-applied for.
Marshall Road lies to the south of the city conveniently placed for access to Addenbrookes Hospital and a mainline railway station with services to King's Cross and Liverpool Street in about 50 and 70 minutes respectively.
There are a number of private and state schools in the area together with Hills Road and Long Road sixth form colleges.
Numerous leisure and sporting facilities are within easy walking or cycling distance including Hills Road Sports Centre (providing indoor and outdoor tennis courts, gym etc) together with Cambridge Leisure, a supermarket, restaurant and cinema complex to the north of Cherry Hinton Road.
Cambridge is a world renowned University city, providing an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes and the tree lined river Cam.
The city has become a major centre in the 'high tech' industry with the University Research and Development Laboratories and the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park.
