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
Dry Drayton is a sought-after and picturesque village located approximately 5 miles northwest of Cambridge, offering convenient access to the Cambridge Science Park, the M11, and A14-making it an ideal location for commuters and professionals alike.
This well-proportioned three-bedroom link-detached home occupies a generous plot of 0.15 acres (approximately 627m2) and offers scope for further extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The property is set back from the road and approached via a large driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles, as well as access to a single garage with an up-and-over door.
The front door sits beneath a canopy and opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a tiled floor, stairs rising to the first floor, and a useful downstairs W/C.
The kitchen, positioned at the front of the property, is fitted with a range of wall and base units, ample work surfaces, a built-in induction hob with extractor over, and an electric oven.
There is also space for freestanding appliances.
To the rear of the property, the open-plan living/dining room is a bright and airy space, benefitting from a dual aspect and French doors leading out to the garden-making it ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
Adjoining the living area is a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, a stainless steel sink, and doors leading both to the rear garden-perfect for muddy boots and paws-and into the garage.
A flexible additional room completes the ground floor accommodation.
Currently used as a home office, this space offers versatility and could equally serve as a formal dining room, playroom, or even a fourth bedroom.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three generous bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.
The bathroom is well-appointed with a contemporary white suite including both a separate bath and shower, and finished with attractive floor-to-ceiling tiling.
Outside, the property enjoys a substantial and private rear garden.
A patio provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining, while the majority of the garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees creating a peaceful and secluded atmosphere.
Overall, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a spacious and flexible family home in a desirable village setting, with excellent potential to extend and add further value (STP).
