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
A distinctive and extremely well presented former Lodge cottage offering approx. 1600sqft of accommodation.
Includes stunning open plan kitchen/dining/family room, study/tv room and further study/bedroom, downstairs shower/cloakroom. Three double bedrooms, bathroom & ensuite. Large garage and utility room.
Excellent position backing on to The Hill primary school playing fields HISTORICAL NOTE This property is believed to date back to circa 1850's and was originally built as a Lodge Cottage for the estate and grounds of Caversham Park mansion house when it was re-built in 1850.
This cottage was sited at the entrance to the kitchen gardens and nurseries that served Caversham Park.
The grand estate was finally sold in the 1920's and since then the house, through different ownership, has been altered and extended to become a fine family home PLANNING APPLICATION Planning permission was approved in 2020 for a two storey side extension - app no: PL/20/0121 This was to enlarge the living area in to part of the garage and add a further bedroom suite above - this planning permission has now lapsed and we retain these drawings on our files.
