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
The entrance hall provides access to a comfortably-sized living room, with views over a small green to the front aspect.
The well-planned kitchen/dining room comprises a comprehensive range of wall and base units with French doors leading to the garden and a useful understairs storage cupboard.

The semi-detached house has a gated access to the garden, overlooks a pleasant green area and is positioned within an attractive, modern development.
The front garden is lawned with hedging to provide privacy.
There is an enclosed rear garden which is laid to lawn and includes a paved patio area, and a gated access which leads to the driveway and garage, located within a coach-house.
LOCATION Longstanton is an area of interest to many buyers from Cambridge because of the advantage of the guided busway which runs every 7 minutes into Cambridge and then onto Cambridge station and Addenbrooke's hospital.
The village is also only 2.5 miles from the A14 and 5 miles from the M11. There is a good community spirit within the village which holds various events including a local market and Christmas fayre.
You can also find regular events and classes at the primary school or Northstowe Secondary School and regular sports events are held at the recreation ground; home to the village’s football, tennis and cricket clubs and young children’s playground.
Facilities in Longstanton include two nurseries (one private, one preschool at the primary school), a primary school, a village institute, doctors and dentist surgery, hairdresser, veterinary surgery, hairdresser, public house and Chinese takeaway, village store with post office, fish and chip shop also selling kebabs and pizzas and a co-operative store.
There are several parks and a large green space, Northstowe Western Park & Pavillion, offering recreational activities within a few minute’s walk.
The village benefits further from a wider choice of facilities on offer from the neighbouring purpose-built town of Northstowe, that is currently in development, including an Educational campus that will comprise Secondary, 6th form, SEN and Primary education centres.
