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.

This deceptively spacious and attractive 1930s bay-fronted semi-detached house has been extended into the loft and cleverly redesigned internally to provide well-balanced and flexible accommodation throughout.
Situated on a popular residential address approximately 2 miles to the west of Reading town centre, bordering the suburb of Tilehurst, the property is ideally located being within minutes walk of Prospect Park, schools, gyms, cafes, pubs and restaurants plus a range of shops and numerous frequent bus services.
Both Reading West and Tilehurst train stations are each circa 1.5 miles and the M4 Motorway is also a short commute by car via the A4 Bath Road being within 1/2 mile.
The open frontage to this classic property is block paved to provide off road parking with double opening doors to the garage and an attractive feature open porch over the front door.
The entrance hall has stairs rising to the first floor and doors to the living room, separate and versatile snug, and a delightful kitchen/diner with French doors with flanking windows to the rear garden.
The front aspect living room features the bay window and a feature fire fireplace with mantle and marble hearth and surround.
The snug has a door leading into an adaptable lean to currently used as a utility/hobby space. Doors lead to the garage, the rear garden and also a ground floor cloakroom.
On the first floor, the front aspect landing services well proportioned bedrooms and a separate rear aspect three piece bathroom.
Stairs from the landing lead up to the converted loft space providing a dual aspect bedroom with fitted storage to eaves space and opens to an en-suite with roof light window.
The rear garden is another notable feature of this desirable home.
Measuring approximately 50' in length (16m) and enclosed by wooden fencing, a large paved patio spans the entire rear of the property and has a step down to a lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs to borders and stepping stone path leading to a green house a summer house/cabin with light and power, currently used as a home office.
This fine home offers excellent potential for further development, including the possibility of a side extension (subject to the usual planning permissions).
