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 appointed semi-detached property which lies in one of Ely's most sought after locations just off Barton Square and being offered to the market with no upward chain.
ELY Home to a world famous 900 year old Cathedral, the historic city of Ely lies on the River Great Ouse probably no more than 15 miles from the City of Cambridge.
There is a very good range of shopping facilities within the centre itself including a market which takes place on both Thursdays and Saturdays. A comprehensive range of local schooling is available.
The area boasts a number of sporting facilities including an 18 hole golf course, indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and squash club whilst socially there is an excellent variety of pubs and restaurants, including the new Ely Leisure Village featuring a six screen cinema, along with family restaurants and takeaways.
The A10 connects Ely to Cambridge, where the A14 and M11 provide routes to London (70 miles) and the rest of the country.
From Ely's mainline rail station Cambridge can be reached in approximately 17 minutes while London’s Kings Cross and Liverpool Street stations are approximately one hour 15 minutes to the south.
Barton Mews is a highly regarded cul-de-sac located just off Barton Square, in one of Ely’s most sought after areas.
With the mainline railway station just down the road, and the Cathedral and High Street a short walk in the opposite direction, it is also one of the most convenient locations in the city.
The river and marina are also nearby, with one of the most picturesque approaches being via Cherry Hill Park and ‘The Porta’, which sits just across the square and dates back to the 1400s.
Barton Mews continued The cul-de-sac itself comprises just five properties, with this particular home being a semi-detached house of attractive design, featuring brick-faced elevations beneath a gambrel roof.
Originally built as a three-bedroom property, the previous owners combined the principal and third bedrooms to create a larger main room. This could easily be reinstated if desired.
Other improvements over the years include the replacement of the kitchen, cloakroom, and bathroom.
Externally, the property benefits from a rear garden, a garage with a remote-controlled door, and a lovely outlook to the front over a private open green enjoyed by all residents.
