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
An excellent opportunity to acquire a charming late Victorian, 4 bedroom property with off street parking space, situated in this highly regarded central city location.
City Centre three-quarters of a mile, Mainline Railway Station (King's Cross and Liverpool Street lines) a third of a mile, Addenbrooke's Hospital/Biomedical Campus 2.25 miles, (distances are approximate).
This elegant late Victorian home offers timeless character with its handsome brick built exterior, classic slate roof, and attractive bay fronted façade.
A new roof was installed in 2021, and part of the property has been recently repointed, enhancing the building’s longevity and curb appeal.
Inside, generous room sizes and high ceilings create a bright and airy atmosphere, complemented by the charm of a selection of period features.
The property would benefit from sympathetic modernisation, presenting an exciting opportunity for buyers to put their own stamp on a characterful two storey residence.
Offered with no onward chain, 80 St. Barnabas Road is ready to be transformed into a stunning family home in a highly sought after location.
St Barnabas Road is conveniently placed for access to the city’s mainline railway station, which provides services to London’s King’s Cross and Liverpool Street in approximately 52 and 67 minutes respectively.
There is a wide range of vibrant shops and restaurants in nearby Mill Road, as well as a number of excellent schools within close proximity.
The heart of the city centre, the University Botanic Garden and many of the Colleges and University Departments are also within easy reach.
In addition to Mill Road’s independent amenities, the property also benefits from close proximity to the CB1 development around Cambridge Station, a modern and thriving urban quarter offering a variety of cafés, restaurants and retail options, along with high quality public spaces and landscaped pedestrian routes.
Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the Biomedical Campus are easily reached with direct bus connections, extensive cycling routes and soon to be train services to the new Cambridge South station (due to open June 2026) built to serve the hospital and campus.
