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
Sansome & George Tilehurst - An opportunity to acquire a 5 bedroom detached home located off Long Lane. Requires modernisation, no onward chain.
An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom detached residence, ideally positioned within a highly sought after cul-de-sac just off Long Lane, neighbouring miles of beautiful open countryside in the nearby village of Sulham.
This appealing location offers a wonderful balance between peaceful semi-rural living and excellent accessibility to local amenities, with the well served villages of Pangbourne and Tilehurst situated on either side, both providing a wide range of shops, eateries, and everyday conveniences.
The property itself presents a fantastic opportunity for modernisation, allowing prospective buyers to create a bespoke family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
Internally, the accommodation is generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, beginning with an inviting porch that leads into a hallway, complete with a convenient ground floor WC.
The main living space is a particularly attractive feature, offering a front to rear aspect that allows natural light to flow throughout, creating a bright and airy environment ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
In addition, there is a separate dining room, providing a more formal setting for family meals or social occasions.
Upstairs, the property comprises five well sized bedrooms, offering flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation, or home working arrangements.
These are served by a family bathroom, with scope for refurbishment to suit modern standards.
Externally, the home continues to impress with a sizeable and enclosed rear garden, offering a high degree of privacy and plenty of space for outdoor activities, gardening, or future landscaping projects.
To the front, there is ample driveway parking, complemented by the rare advantage of two garages - a single integral garage and a larger detached double garage, ideal for additional storage, workshop use, or secure parking.
Further benefits include gas radiator central heating and UPVC double glazed windows, contributing to the home's comfort and efficiency.
The property is also offered with no onward chain, ensuring a smoother and potentially quicker transaction.
The location is particularly appealing for commuters and families alike, with Tilehurst railway station providing direct links to London Paddington and central London.
A range of local shops and frequent bus services are easily accessible, while the area is also well regarded for its educational offerings, including highly respected primary schools and Denefield School nearby.
Altogether, this property represents a rare chance to secure a spacious family home in a desirable and well connected location, with significant potential to enhance and add value.
