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
The property occupies a sought-after position within the development, ideally situated within easy walking distance of both the primary and secondary schools.
A particular advantage is its proximity to a pedestrian footpath leading directly to the picturesque lake, situated less than 100 yards away.
The ground floor benefits from tiled flooring throughout and begins with a entrance hall, featuring a useful storage cupboard and cloakroom.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, tiled splashbacks and integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
To the rear is the generously proportioned, L-shaped sitting/dining room, featuring an attractive contemporary media wall with a flame-effect fireplace, while French doors open directly onto the rear garden.
The dining area comfortably accommodates a six-to-eight-seater table. On the first floor, the landing provides access to three bedrooms, a family bathroom and an airing cupboard.
The generous guest double bedroom enjoys a rear aspect and benefits from an ensuite room and attractive wood-panelled feature wall.
The second bedroom overlooks the front, while the third is a good-sized single. A modern family bathroom completes this floor. The impressive principal bedroom occupies the entire second floor.
This generous room benefits from an ensuite shower room with Velux window, together with an additional storage room housing the hot water cylinder, which could also serve as a walk-in wardrobe.
OUTSIDE AND PARKING To the side of the property, a double-length driveway provides off-road parking and leads to a detached single garage, complete with power and lighting.
Gated side access leads to the enclosed rear garden. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved patio and a timber shed.
LOCATION Northstowe is one of the UK’s largest new towns, situated between Cambridge and St Ives and built directly alongside the Guided Busway, offering rapid, reliable connections to Cambridge city centre.

Designed with a modern, sustainable focus, Northstowe features extensive green corridors, lakes, wide pavements, play parks, sports pitches, community buildings and an expanding range of shops and cafés.
Facilities already include primary schools, a secondary college, a community centre, sports pavilion and dedicated cycling and walking infrastructure.
As the town grows, additional amenities—including leisure facilities and a town centre—are being delivered in phased development.
Northstowe has multiple primary schools, each well regarded locally, and secondary education is provided by Northstowe Secondary College (Ofsted Good ).
Swavesey Village College (Ofsted Outstanding ) is also accessible for some catchments.
With safe cycling routes throughout the area and direct access to the Busway, school journeys are simple and secure.
