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.

Jesus Green and the River Cam are also within easy reach, offering attractive open spaces and riverside walks, while Cambridge North Station is approximately 1.5 miles away and the A14 is easily accessible for commuters.

Residents benefit from well-maintained communal gardens, a communal bicycle storage area and generous communal parking, all set within attractive grounds surrounding a characterful red-brick building.
The apartment is accessed via a secure communal entrance and occupies a peaceful top floor position, enjoying elevated views across the surrounding mature trees and greenery.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a useful entrance space which provides separation between the living accommodation and the front door, creating a greater sense of privacy than many studio apartments.
Finished in soft neutral tones with practical flooring underfoot, the hallway also offers useful space for coats. The shower room is generously proportioned and finished in a clean, neutral palette.
Featuring a white suite comprising a W.C., pedestal hand basin and shower enclosure, the room feels spacious and functional, with contemporary wood-effect flooring adding warmth and texture while complementing the lighter wall finishes.
Adjacent to the hallway is the separate kitchen.
Thoughtfully arranged in a galley style layout, the kitchen offers an excellent range of light oak-effect wall and base units paired with brushed metal handles and contrasting work surfaces.
White tiled splashbacks help to reflect light throughout the space, while the wood-effect flooring continues through the room, creating a cohesive finish.
The kitchen is equipped with freestanding appliances and provides ample storage and preparation space, making it a practical and efficient area for day-to-day living.
The principal studio living space is surprisingly bright and inviting.
Positioned beneath the roofline, the room benefits from two large skylight windows which flood the space with natural light while framing attractive views of the mature trees beyond.
The soft cream décor enhances the feeling of light and space, while the neutral carpeting creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
The room has been cleverly arranged to accommodate both living and sleeping areas, with ample space for a bed, seating area, dining table or desk depending on individual requirements.
Built-in shelving and storage solutions maximise practicality without compromising on floor space, making this a highly versatile room that can easily adapt to a range of lifestyles.
Outside, Harvey Goodwin Gardens enjoys a pleasant setting surrounded by mature planting and established trees which provide a surprising degree of greenery for such a central location.
Residents have access to attractive communal gardens offering peaceful outdoor space, along with a dedicated communal bike storage area, ideal for those looking to take advantage of Cambridge's renowned cycling routes.
There is also generous communal parking available for residents and visitors alike.
Offering well-proportioned accommodation, practical living space, excellent communal facilities and a highly convenient Cambridge location, all with the added benefit of being sold with no onward chain, this top floor studio apartment represents an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to step onto the property ladder or expand their investment portfolio.
