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 modern two-bedroom detached house on Milton Road was built in 2013 to an exceptionally high standard, with underfloor heating and a mvhr whole house ventilation system running throughout, and is offered with no onward chain.
Decorated in neutral tones throughout, the house has an modern, well-proportioned feel, while timber French grey window and door frames add a soft, distinctive touch to the exterior.
Set in the highly sought-after Chesterton area, it offers easy access to local amenities, the city centre and superb transport connections.
The house is set off-road behind a private gate, shared with the neighbouring property and comes with allocated driveway parking.
A wide entrance hall with slate tiling leads to a large ground floor cloakroom with WC and a separate utility cupboard housing the washing machine.
From the hall, the space opens into a light and bright triple aspect open plan reception room and kitchen.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with white base and eye-level units complemented by solid wood worktops, and is fitted with a range of integrated appliances including a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher and full-height fridge and freezer.
Engineered wood flooring runs throughout the ground floor, tying the reception and kitchen spaces together.
The french doors open from the living area directly onto the south-facing rear garden where there is a smart patio with external lighting, a lovely spot for relaxing or entertaining on warmer evenings.
The garden is mainly lawn and has a shed to the rear providing useful storage and there is side access to the front of the property. On the first floor, there is carpet in both bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is a spacious, dual-aspect room, and the second is a well-proportioned double bedroom.
Both are served by a modern family bathroom fitted with a WC, wash hand basin, wall mounted mirrored vanity unit, and a panelled bath with shower over.
Milton Road sits in a well-established part of north Cambridge, close to a grocery shop, café and Cam Home & Garden, and just a short walk from the River Cam and city centre.
The property falls within the catchment for Milton Road Primary School, a feeder to Chesterton Community College.
Cambridge North station is approximately 1.5 miles away, with direct services to London King's Cross.
