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
A well-positioned home of 1299 sqft / 120 sqm, situated on a no-through-road of just 9 dwellings & backing onto open farmland.
The house is just over a mile west of the City boundary & has no chain. This detached house was built in 1960 & is nicely set back from a small cul-de-sac in this desirable village.
The property has lovely views to the rear & direct access from its gardens to open countryside, providing some excellent walks during the warmer months.
On the ground floor are 3 reception rooms including a versatile entrance hall which has underfloor heating & plenty of space for coats & footwear.
The inner hall is finished with herringbone wooden flooring continuing through to the study & a bright open-plan living/dining area with a fireplace & a large sliding door to the rear garden.
The kitchen has been fitted with a range of units & includes various integrated appliances, all of which are included within the sale.
There is a separate utility room with further units & a cloakroom W.C, located just off from the inner hallway. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, a refitted family shower room & a galleried landing.
The house is set back from the close behind a lawned garden & driveway with access to the garage.
The garden has an Indian sandstone patio, a veg patch & views over countryside, as well as a Gazebo & entertainment area, well suited to alfresco dining.
Barton is a village just west of the city boundary, offering a good range of facilities including a post office, 2 pubs, Burwash Manor & a primary School that feeds into the highly regarded cvc.
The bridleway at the end of Cambridge Road offers a walking/cycling route to Grantchester & the River Cam.
There is a lit cycle path along the main road which links the village to the amenities of Newnham & the City Centre. The M11 - Junction 12 & nearby Cambridge station provides links to London.
Cambridge South Station is also due to open later this year & will be around a 20-minute cycle from the house.
