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
Description ~ Green Views, Sunny Garden & Beautiful Sunsets ~ Set in a quiet a cul-de-sac, with over 1,850 sq ft of flexible living - including open-plan kitchen, versatile upstairs & downstairs bedrooms, and three bathrooms.
This hidden gem has sensible room sizes, 0.18 acre plot, detached garage, and a secluded west-facing garden.
Although its versatile layout will give it wide appeal, it will be a compelling find for multi-generational families, or for anyone with limited mobility.
Broom Lodge is a home of impressive proportions, with no compromise on living space.
The living room is large but homely, with fireplace, doors to the garden, and double doors opening into the kitchen / dining room.
This open-plan space looks out over the garden, and there's ample space for a family dining table, and small sofa for relaxing.
The kitchen itself is the perfect layout, with plenty of prepping space, eye-level ovens, gas range hob, and good storage.
There are two ground floor double bedrooms, each with a bay window and good quality fitted storage.
The 'Guest Bedroom' has a large en-suite wet room, and Bedroom Three has the use of the shower room a few steps along the hallway.
The master bedroom upstairs enjoys fabulous views across fields (and occasional horses) and, with a west-facing orientation, also enjoys the warmth of the evening sun and sunsets.
This suite has good eaves storage, space for wardrobes, and a modern en-suite shower room.
Bedroom Four has been fitted with bespoke cabinetry (as a home office), but would also make a good child's room, dressing room, or occasional bedroom.
On a practical note, there's good linen storage, plenty of light from the staircase window, a useful utility room, and a detached garage.
There's ramp access to the main door, and excellent driveway parking.
The garden has a good degree of privacy, and the best of the striking sunsets with its uninterrupted view and west-facing position.
A Few Words from Quarters "It's hard not to fall in love with Broom Lodge - it may have look like a bungalow from the kerbside, but internally it offers more space than an average four bedroom home, and once inside it feels both homely and cared-for.
We particularly love the setting and the views, but need to mention the peacefulness of the location.
The land to the rear belongs to the Henry Street estate, so the nearest neighbours are birds, foxes and the occasional horse or two.
We know that anyone with mobility challenges will have Broom Lodge on their shortlist, but we can also see the appeal for down-sizers, growing families with older children, or perhaps those who are just looking for something a little different, and want the rural feel without being too far from local amenities.
Please get in touch with Nick Harris or Teresa Ling at Quarters Estate Agents, Wokingham, for additional details or to discuss viewing arrangements.
