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 bright and beautifully presented 1960's semi-detached home occupies a private plot in the popular Cherry Hinton area of Cambridge, with a large front garden set back from the street.
Tasteful landscaping and screening trees soften the approach, setting a calm tone alongside the path leading up to the front door, and give the property a genuine sense of privacy that's not always easy to find this close to the city.
Inside, the entrance hallway leads through to the principal reception rooms.
The living room is a generously sized space with French doors opening directly onto the patio and garden beyond, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, and equally at home hosting friends or settling in for a quiet evening.
The open-plan dining room and kitchen forms the sociable heart of the home. A floor to ceiling window, together with a second window, fills the space with natural light.
The kitchen is fitted with an integrated oven and hob, with space for a washing machine and fridge freezer.
There is a breakfast bar for casual seating, and the dining area includes a handy storage cupboard - practical, everyday touches that make the whole space work as hard as it looks good.
Wooden stairs lead up to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, with generously sized windows keeping the first floor light and bright throughout.
The primary double bedroom has a useful wash basin and built-in storage, with two further well-proportioned bedrooms offering plenty of flexibility for children, guests or a home office.The family bathroom has a heated towel rail, a wash basin and a bath with shower over.
Together, the natural light, neutral décor and versatile layout give this home a genuinely uplifting feel, equally suited to family life or those who enjoy entertaining.
Outside, a patio area provides space for outdoor seating and al fresco dining, leading onto an established rear garden, ideal for socialising, with a lawn bordered by flowers and trees for a private, leafy outlook.
It's a garden that comes into its own through the warmer months, with plenty of room for children to play or for quiet moments outdoors.
A garage provides valuable additional storage, next to a private car park accessible from Wolsey Way, with further access gained through a garden gate.
Cherry Hinton has a range of everyday amenities including shops and local services; a David Lloyd leisure club; and access to open spaces.
There is easy access into Cambridge city centre, and convenient connections towards the wider road network.
For those commuting to London King's Cross from Cambridge station, approximately two miles away, the journey can take under 50 minutes.
