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
PARKERS - Set at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this attractive four bedroom detached home occupies a prime position in a highly regarded area of Purley on Thames, just a short stroll from picturesque countryside walks and the River Thames, while remaining well connected via Tilehurst Station.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and begins with a welcoming entrance hall, providing access to a ground floor cloakroom/WC.
The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged into two distinct areas, divided by an attractive archway; one side forming the main kitchen space, with the second offering an additional kitchen/breakfast area complete with a breakfast bar, ideal for informal dining and day-to-day family living.
A separate dining room provides a more formal space for entertaining, while the generous dual-aspect lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light and offers a comfortable setting for relaxation.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, together with a modern family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
Outside, the property features a private and well-maintained rear garden, with a patio seating area leading onto a lawn bordered by mature planting.
A summer house positioned in the far corner provides an excellent additional space, ideal for a home office, gym or leisure use. The garden also benefits from side access.
To the front, a driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a double integral garage, offering further parking and storage.
