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 beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached Stuart period cottage-style home, believed to date back to the early 1700s.
The property is a non-listed building, which is particularly unusual for a home of this age and provides greater flexibility for future adaptation (STPP).
Offering a rare combination of historic character and modern living whilst finished to a high standard throughout, the property retains a wealth of charm while providing comfortable and practical accommodation.
Step Inside The property is entered via a welcoming downstairs entrance, leading into a charming living room featuring a striking inglenook fireplace and original wooden beams.
The cottage-style kitchen has been finished to an excellent standard and includes a characterful stable door opening directly onto the garden.
A separate utility room and WC add further practicality to the ground floor.
Upstairs , the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two doubles and a single bedroom, with the master bedroom including a walk-in dressing area, alongside a stylish modern bathroom.
Original wooden beams and period features continue throughout, creating a warm and authentic cottage feel.
Step Outside The property enjoys parking for at least three cars and an unusually generous garden, with a large lawned area providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, children and relaxation.
The garden backs directly onto National Trust land forming part of the Wimpole Estate, offering beautiful open views across the surrounding countryside and creating a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
The combination of a substantial garden, rural outlook and historic cottage character makes the outside space a particularly special feature of this home.
This lovely home is rare opportunity to acquire a characterful early-18th-century home with a large garden and a stunning countryside outlook.
Location Situated in the attractive countryside between Wimpole and Orwell, the property offers an appealing combination of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.
The nearby Wimpole Estate provides an exceptional countryside setting, with its historic mansion, gardens, working farm, extensive parkland and miles of scenic walking routes.
The estate is also just a short distance from Orwell, with the village offering useful local amenities including a village shop and post office, primary school and popular village pub.
The location is particularly well suited to those seeking an outdoor lifestyle, with footpaths, cycling routes and open National Trust farmland surrounding the area.
Wimpole Estate is approximately 8 miles south-west of Cambridge, with the A603 providing a direct route towards the city, while Royston is around 6 miles away.
