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
70 Ditton Lane is a light, spacious and well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home set within a convenient location on the east side of Cambridge.
Offering over 1,100 sq ft of accommodation, the property combines generous living space with a large rear garden, making it an excellent choice for families and professionals alike.
The ground floor is centred around a bright sitting room with a feature fireplace, which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.
This opens through to the dining room at the rear, perfect for family meals and entertaining, with a large window overlooking the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, with space for appliances, and leads through to a useful garden room and workshop.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a third bedroom which would also make a perfect nursery or study.
The family bathroom is attractively finished with natural tiling and a modern three-piece suite. The outdoor space is a real highlight.
To the front, there is off-road parking on a gravelled driveway, while to the rear lies a generous enclosed garden, mainly laid to lawn with raised beds, a patio seating area and plenty of space for children to play, entertaining guests, or enjoying summer evenings.
The property lies northeast of the city centre, well-located for access to the river, local schools, retail parks, and green spaces.
A traffic-free cycle route into the centre or Cambridge North takes around 10 minutes.
Three primary schools, Galfrid and Fen Ditton, are within cycling or walking distance, and the secondary schools are in Bottisham or Coleridge.
For commuters, there are excellent links to the M11, A14, and A11 road networks.
