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
Radcliffe & Rust Estate Agents Cambridge are delighted to offer for sale this attractive and recently refurbished one-bedroom ground floor apartment in the peaceful village of Longstanton, in the popular north side of Cambridge.
This property is perfectly positioned for someone wanting village life but who needs easy links to the M11, A14 and A428.
Longstanton is less than ten miles from Cambridge City Centre and a similar distance from Huntingdon, so it is perfect for commuters into either town or those looking for a slower pace of life but still close to all the amenities.
Bus services from the village regularly run into Cambridge, and there is a large selection of amenities on your doorstep, including a village shop, public house, vets, doctors’ surgery and playground/sports field, to name just a few.
Radcliffe & Rust are delighted to offer for sale this one bedroom ground floor property, an ideal purchase for both first time buyers and investors.
Once inside the property, a small hallway leads through the apartment into the main living area at the back. Wall-mounted coat hooks can be found on the wall to the left of the front door.
As you enter the front door, the first room directly in front of you is the bathroom with W.C., hand basin and bath (with shower above and a glass shower screen).
Under the sink is a built-in vanity unit; there is also a wall-mounted mirror, extractor fan and towel ring. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and is in excellent condition.
Back out in the hallway and through the property, the next room you come to is the spacious bedroom, which would comfortably fit a double bed and leave room for additional furniture.
This room is a good size, and with its neutral décor and large window, the feeling of light and space hits you instantly.
The square shape also means it is a practical room for positioning furniture in whatever way works for you.
Next to the bedroom is a large storage cupboard to hide all your clutter...because we all have some!
The last room, in this attractive property, is the open-plan kitchen/living room/diner, which is definitely one of the property's highlights.
The kitchen area is at one end of the room and has been recently refurbished; with the cream kitchen cupboards, laminate worktops, grey tiles and neutral décor, this space has a crisp modern feel.
It is also a blank canvas to add your own homely touches. The kitchen comes available with an integrated double oven, electric hob, extractor hood, an integrated fridge freezer and washer/dryer.
At the other end of this open-plan room is the living/dining room area with laminate flooring.
The large window on the far wall floods the whole space with light, instantly giving the apartment a warm and welcoming feel. It is a great room to socialise with friends.
The whole property is delightful and has been refurbished to a high standard.
