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
Ref: KM01 Full of charm and beautifully presented throughout, this delightful semi-detached two-bedroom cottage offers a wonderful blend of traditional character and comfortable modern living.
The ground floor opens into a beautiful lounge-diner, offering an excellent amount of space for both a generous seating area and dining table.
There is also a dedicated home-working space, making this a versatile and practical room for modern-day living.
A stunning feature fireplace adds warmth, character and a lovely focal point to the room.
The lounge-diner flows through to the kitchen, which was refreshed last year with newly fitted worktops and professionally resprayed units.
The kitchen provides plenty of storage and generous worktop space, making it both stylish and functional.
A separate utility room, complete with sink and conveniently positioned near the rear door, adds further practicality and useful storage. Also located on the ground floor is a spacious bathroom.
Its convenient ground-floor position makes it easily accessible from the main living areas and bedrooms.
Outside, the property benefits from a private tiered garden, featuring a patio area that is ideal for entertaining, enjoying a morning coffee or simply relaxing on a summer evening.
There is also gated side access to the property. Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, both offering plenty of storage space while retaining the character and charm of this lovely cottage.
Further benefits include a roof that was renewed approximately four years ago, providing valuable peace of mind for the new owner.
Soham offers a fantastic blend of community, convenience and countryside.
The town provides a wide range of amenities, including shops, cafés, schools and local facilities, while the surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
The nearby train station provides an excellent additional transport link, with Ely, Newmarket and Cambridge all within easy reach.
This charming cottage would make an excellent choice for first-time buyers, those looking to downsize, or investors seeking a versatile property in a well-connected location
