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 very substantial family home providing 1964 sqft (182 sqm) of well planned accommodation.
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, close to the heart of the village, the property enjoys a generous west facing garden, a garage, and secure parking.
The property benefits from impressive, well proportioned living rooms, a large main bedroom fitted with an en-suite, and two further double bedrooms. The bathrooms have also been recently updated.
Set behind a walled front garden with secure gates, the property is approached over a block paved driveway that gives access to the garage and provides parking.
A covered porch leads to the front door and there is a small porch for welcoming guests. The sitting room to the front of the building is exceptionally spacious and features an attractive fireplace.
Double doors open to the dining room and there is a staircase leading to the first floor.
The dining room is very generously proportioned with two pairs of patio doors providing views over the garden and giving access out.
The adjacent kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets set above and below the working surfaces, there is a built in oven and hob with extractor over, a sink and drainer, and space for an undercounter fridge.
The utility room, which has a door to the garden, provides additional storage and appliance space, and there is a cloakroom off.
The ground floor is completed by a useful multipurpose room with a roof light and double doors leading to the garden.
This room is currently used as an office space, but would equally make a great playroom, den, or snug. On the first floor is a wide, galleried landing.
There are three bedrooms; a very sizable main bedroom with cupboards to one wall and a recently updated en-suite shower room fitted with a large shower enclosure, w.c. and handbasin.
The second and third bedrooms are again very generously proportioned and all have cupboards. There is also a family bathroom with a bath with shower over, w.c., and handbasin.
Outside, is a generous west facing garden, planted with a variety of trees and shrubs. There is a large greenhouse and a brick built shed, both with power.
Agents note: The loft space is accessed over a loft ladder and is partially boarded with two roof lights providing natural light.
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 the Addenbrooke's campus.
It also gives excellent access to the M11 (J10 3 miles).
There are good cycle routes to the mainline railway station at Whittlesford (1.5 miles) and the science parks at Babraham (2 miles) and Abington (3.5 miles).
The village has a fantastic range of local shops including a small supermarket, various restaurants and takeaways, an excellent modern health centre, primary schools and the high achieving Sawston Village College, which has a sports centre, gym and swimming pool that are open to the public.
There is very little need to leave the village for day-to-day living.
