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 5 bedroom detached family house enjoying a traffic-free position towards the end of this residential cul de sac, within walking distance of the local school and village store.
Offering versatile ground floor accommodation (including scope to create a self contained Annexe for a dependant relative/teenager).
The property enjoys a front garden with driveway parking and an enclosed sunny rear garden with an open outlook to the rear.
Harston is the first village coming south out of Cambridge on the A10 and offers an excellent range of day-to-day facilities, including easy road links both into the city and south towards Royston and London.
A new purpose-built, road traffic-free cycle route has recently opened which leads over the M11, into Trumpington then on to the city.
There is also a regular bus service, which is a most useful asset.
The village is the right side of town for the Addenbrooke's Campus, the science parks at Melbourn, Abington, and Great Chesterford, and Foxton's mainline railway station to Cambridge (approximately 13 minutes) and London Kings Cross (less than 1 hour) is within 2 miles.
Within the parish, there is an Ofsted 'Good' rated primary school, a restaurant, doctor's surgery with dispensary, an excellent local shop with a Post Office counter, a recently opened Fitzbillies bakery/café, a further café, village hall, hairdresser, petrol filling station (with inpost locker), and a large recreation ground with a recently improved children's playground.
A small Asda store is due to open in the village soon and is only a short walk away, as is the School, the rec, football pitch, the orchard, and local shops- no road crossing, so very safe for kids.
