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
17 St. Andrews Road is an inviting period property offering over 1,100 sq ft of accommodation across two floors.
The house features neutral décor throughout, complemented by a rear extension that maximizes natural light.
The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming reception hall with wood-effect flooring that continues through much of the level.
To the front is a charming sitting room, centered around a traditional tiled fireplace with a timber mantel and bespoke fitted shelving in the alcoves. A large bay window ensures a bright atmosphere.
The rear of the house has been transformed into an expansive open-plan space. The galley-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wooden cabinetry, granite-effect worktops, and integrated appliances.
This leads directly into a vaulted family room, which serves as the heart of the home.
This space features dual rooflights, exposed timber beams, and large French doors that provide a seamless connection to the rear garden. On the first floor, the property comprises three bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a double featuring a wide bay window and a wall of fitted mirrored wardrobes.
The second bedroom is also a well-proportioned double overlooking the garden, while the third room offers flexibility as a nursery or a dedicated home office.
These rooms are served by a family bathroom with white sanitaryware and a shower over the bath.
At the front a short pathway leads from the pavement through a low, neatly trimmed yellow-green hedge that borders the small front garden.
The rear garden is fully enclosed by timber fencing and mature hedging, providing a private outdoor retreat.
A paved patio area leads directly from the family room, offering an ideal space for al fresco dining.
St Andrews Road is situated in a well placed residential area of north Cambridge, offering easy access to both the city centre and the River Cam with its attractive riverside walks and green spaces.
