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
Occupying a prominent position overlooking the River Cam, Jesus Green and Jesus Green Lido, this handsome Victorian family house extends to over 1,600 sq ft and offers beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors.
Forming one of an attractive pair of semi-detached Victorian houses, the property retains a wealth of original character, including high ceilings, large restored sash windows, timber floors and period fireplaces.
The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of improvement, including rewiring, replumbing, the installation of a new central heating system and the refurbishment of the kitchen and bathrooms, creating a home that combines period charm with modern practicality.
The accommodation is both versatile and well balanced.
A welcoming reception hall leads to an elegant sitting room and separate dining room, while the lower ground floor provides a well-appointed kitchen with pantry and a useful playroom.
A shower room adds further practicality.
The first floor comprises three bedrooms served by a family bathroom, while the second floor provides an attic room together with a useful store room, offering flexible accommodation for a variety of uses.
Outside, the property enjoys unusually generous gardens for such a central Cambridge location.
A substantial front garden enhances the property's setting, whilst the rear garden provides excellent outdoor space for family use and entertaining.
A notable feature is the historic former horse-drawn fire station, currently providing secure parking for two vehicles and offering further potential under the approved planning consent.
Agent's Note: Planning permission has been granted for extensions and alterations to the property, including the creation of a two-bedroom ancillary annexe, swimming pool and associated landscaping works.
Further details are available from the agent under Planning Reference: 25/03694/hful.
