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 smartly arranged modern home offering well-balanced accommodation across two floors, positioned within Cherry Hinton and well placed for access to Cambridge city centre, Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the surrounding transit network.
This is a property likely to appeal to first-time buyers, professionals or investors seeking a manageable, efficient and ready to enjoy home, with the added benefit of private outside space.
The ground floor is centred around a generous open-plan sitting/dining/kitchen space extending to over 24ft in length, creating a practical and sociable main living area.
The layout works particularly well for day-to-day life, with clear zones for cooking, dining and relaxing without feeling compromised on space.
The kitchen/dining area is fitted with ample storage and worktop space along with integrated appliances, while windows to the front and rear, together with a glazed rear door, bring good natural light throughout the room.
A cloakroom on the ground floor adds useful everyday practicality, particularly when entertaining guests.
Upstairs, the first floor provides a notably comfortable double bedroom with dual windows, built-in wardrobes and space for additional furniture or a home-working desk if required.
The bathroom is well proportioned and fitted with a bath and shower over, serving the first floor in a straightforward and functional arrangement.
Outside, the rear garden is enclosed and designed for ease of maintenance, with a combination of patio and lawn providing usable space for sitting out, container planting or summer dining.
A timber shed offers valuable external storage for bicycles and household items.
To the front, the property sits behind a walled boundary with gated access, giving a clear sense of separation from the street.
Cherry Hinton is a highly desirable village located just 3 miles east of Cambridge city centre.
The area offers a vibrant High Street with an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and leisure facilities.
Cherry Hinton Hall and the recreation ground are both within a 10 minute walk, providing beautiful green spaces for residents.
Commuters benefit from easy access to Addenbrooke's Hospital (1.5 miles), Cambridge railway station (2 miles), and the city centre (3.5 miles).
The village also enjoys frequent bus services and convenient links to the A14 for wider travel.
Cherry Hinton is an ideal blend of traditional community charm and modern convenience, offering an exceptional lifestyle close to Cambridge.
