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 superbly extended and greatly improved Victorian semi-detached house, situated in the highly regarded west city area of Newnham.
Cambridge City Centre 1 mile, M11 (junction 12) 1.25 miles, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross 52 minutes and Liverpool Street 67 minutes) 1.75 miles, (distance and times are approximate).
This fine Victorian house is constructed with brick elevations under slate roofs and is typical of the period with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and many original features.
The property has been altered and improved over the years, with the present owners having undertaken a full programme of redecoration, bringing the house up to an exceptional standard with immaculately presented accommodation throughout.
Hardwick Street lies within the highly regarded Newnham area, which is widely recognised as one of the best residential locations in the city.
Local facilities include a post office, chemist, bakers, butchers, grocers, small supermarket and the highly regarded Newnham Croft Primary School.
Lammas Land Recreation Ground, with a large children's' play area, tennis court and paddling pool, is within a few hundred yards.
The historic city centre is about 1 mile away and provides an attractive combination of ancient and modern buildings, colleges, winding lanes and extensive shopping facilities.
The property is extremely well placed for many of the University departments, 'The Backs' and delightful walks along the River Cam to the nearby villages of Grantchester and Coton.
There is also an excellent range of schools for all ages within half to three-quarters of a mile of the property, including King's College School and St John's College School in Grange Road.
