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 fantastically located, light and bright three bedroom 1960s family home, situated on Acrefield Drive in the highly sought after De Freville area of Cambridge just moments from the river Cam and Midsummer Common.
As you enter the property on the ground floor there is an entrance hall that leads to the stairs and bright and airy main open-plan living and dining area with wooden flooring throughout.
The separate kitchen is accessed from the open-plan living space and is well equipped with a gas hob, oven and base and eye level units as well as a highly useful under-stairs pantry cupboard.
Accessible from both the kitchen and living room, a raised patio area by the doors leads out to a private rear garden with gated access.
Upstairs, a generous double and two single bedrooms share a light-filled family bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, WC and basin.
Separate to the house is a single garage located at the end of Acrefield Drive.
This home is enviably located just north of the river Cam and Midsummer Common, and is less than one mile from Cambridge's bustling city centre, whilst being tucked away in a quiet and peaceful residential area.
There are plenty of amenities close by including the ever popular Stir café; The Old Spring, Fort St George and The Tivoli pubs; and local shops.
The catchment area schools are Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College, which was last rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted.
