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
This beautifully maintained Victorian townhouse has been tastefully restored by the current owners, preserving many original period features throughout.
Located on the outskirts of the town centre, the house is within walking distance of The Oracle and Reading station. The property spans three floors.
The entrance hall leads to a bay-fronted living room, a central dining room and a farmhouse style kitchen which was fitted over the last few weeks.
The upper floors offer four spacious double bedrooms and a stunning five-piece bathroom suite, with a freestanding roll-top bath as the centrepiece.
Character features such as fireplaces have been emphasized throughout the home to give it a wonderful original feel.
Permit parking is available on the street directly outside and there is a small front garden leading to the front door.
The west-facing rear garden is larger than initially expected, with several areas for sitting and dining. In particular there is a lovely decked area which is perfect for summer barbeques.
Ideal for a family looking to upsize, the property is close to the numerous amenities across Reading.
This includes the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading University, and a number of highly regarded schools in the state and private sectors.
