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
Tucked away within this award-winning development just off Brooklands Avenue, this exceptional third-floor apartment enjoys a peaceful setting overlooking Hobson's Conduit and the adjoining nature reserve, whilst being perfectly positioned for Cambridge city centre, the railway station and Addenbrooke's Hospital.
The building itself has an impressive glazed entrance with lift access to all floors, and the apartment occupies one of the best positions within the development.
Stepping inside, a generous entrance hall immediately creates a feeling of space.
Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the principal living areas and there are three useful storage cupboards, one of which houses the washing machine, ensuring the apartment is as practical as it is stylish.
The heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, extending to over 25ft in length.
Designed for modern living and entertaining, the room is filled with natural light from full-height glazing on two elevations and enjoys delightful views across the protected brook and mature trees.
Sliding doors open onto a generous west-facing balcony, providing an ideal spot to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine.
The kitchen is beautifully appointed with sleek wall and base units, a breakfast bar and an excellent range of integrated appliances including an induction hob with extractor, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
The two bedrooms are positioned away from the living space, creating an excellent degree of privacy with access to a private balcony.
The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite wet room with walk-in shower, vanity basin and WC.
The second bedroom is another generous double, enjoying the same attractive outlook towards the nature reserve, making it equally well suited as a guest room or home office.
The main bathroom is finished to the same high standard and comprises a bath with shower over, vanity basin and WC.
Outside, the apartment benefits from two private balconies, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings throughout the day, together with an allocated secure parking space and secure cycle storage within the basement.
