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
Discreetly nestled within the enchanting, tree-lined setting of Calcot Park, this exceptional family home represents a rare opportunity and no onward chain-seamlessly blending timeless Georgian architectural elegance with refined contemporary living.
Constructed circa 1994 by the highly regarded Donfield Developments, the property enjoys a commanding yet private position, approached via East Drive through secure automated wrought-iron gates, leading to a shared approach, ample driveway parking, and a double garage.
From the moment you step inside, the home exudes sophistication.
The impressive entrance hall is striking in both scale and symmetry, featuring a beautifully crafted half-turn staircase rising to a galleried landing, all bathed in natural light.
The ground floor accommodation is generous and highly versatile, offering three elegant reception rooms ideal for entertaining or relaxed family living, complemented by a large and light-filled conservatory overlooking the garden.
A cloakroom adjoins the hallway, while the heart of the home is the bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen/breakfast room-expertly crafted in fine oak and appointed to an exceptional standard.
A separate utility room enhances everyday practicality. Upstairs, the principal suite provides a luxurious retreat, complete with a full en-suite bathroom and extensive built-in wardrobes.
A further guest suite also benefits from its own en-suite, while two additional well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a stylish shower room.
All bedrooms are thoughtfully designed with generous fitted storage. To the rear lies a wholly secluded, south-west facing walled garden-a true private sanctuary.
Surrounded by mature trees, established shrubs, hedging, and fruit trees, the garden offers multiple areas for outdoor dining, recreation, and quiet relaxation.
Additional features include double-glazed sash-style windows, gas-fired central heating via radiators, and a substantial partly boarded loft space offering clear potential for conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Beautifully maintained and classically styled, this distinguished home occupies one of the area’s most desirable private settings. Early viewing is highly recommended.
Location: Set in an attractive, private tree-lined road off the select East Drive on the desirable Calcot Park this fine home offers excellent transport links that are provided via Junction 12 of the nearby M4 motorway, allowing easy access to Heathrow Airport (33 miles), as well as the popular nearby towns of Reading (3 miles), Henley (11 miles), Maidenhead (22 miles) and Windsor (26 miles), where shopping, leisure and recreational facilities are plentiful.
Mainline Reading station is close by with fast trains to Paddington (from 24 minutes) and the Elizabeth Line with trains to Liverpool Street.
This area is also well served with private schools at junior and senior level, including The Abbey School, Crossfields, Kendrick School, Reading Blue Coat, Reading Grammar School, Shiplake College, St Joseph's College, Bradfield College and Pangbourne College.
