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
This timber-framed three-bedroom detached lodge house, first time on the market since construction, is ideally situated within the highly sought-after Buckden Marina in Cambridgeshire, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home in this picturesque waterside setting.
Located on the edge of the historic village of Buckden, the marina is surrounded by an abundance of wildlife and scenic countryside walks, creating a tranquil and relaxing environment while still remaining conveniently connected.
The property is within easy reach of local village amenities, the A1 trunk road, and mainline railway stations at Huntingdon and St Neots, providing fast and direct access to London and the North—making it ideal for both commuters and those seeking a countryside retreat.
The location is soon to benefit from a brand new on site health club, to include gym and spa facilities.
