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
Mole End is a truly individual and beautifully appointed detached home, offering an exceptional blend of character, generous proportions and flexible living.
Remodelled to a high standard in 2016 and thoughtfully redecorated over the years, this is a property that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
From the outset, the home impresses with its spacious and welcoming entrance, setting the tone for the light-filled and versatile accommodation beyond.
The ground floor flows effortlessly, combining open-plan elements with defined living spaces, ideal for both family life and entertaining.
The kitchen has shaker-style fitted units, wooden worktops and space for a range cooker, as well as space for a family dining table.
At the heart of the home lies a striking sitting room, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling, skylights and a dramatic gable-end window that floods the space with natural light.
Wooden flooring and a log burner create warmth and sophistication, while the seamless connection to the reception hall and kitchen/dining area provides a wonderful sense of continuity.
The property offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, a rare and highly desirable feature.
Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, offering flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or home working.
A particularly unique aspect of the home is its two separate staircases, each leading to an individual first-floor bedroom, creating a sense of privacy and character rarely found in modern homes.
There are three large, well-appointed bathrooms, all finished to a generous scale; one features a full-sized bath, ideal for relaxation, two are designed with spacious shower rooms, offering both practicality and style.
Externally, the property continues to impress.
To the rear, a substantial double garage provides excellent storage and secure parking, complemented by additional parking for two vehicles on a paved area.
To the front, the home is framed by a large, mature garden, beautifully landscaped with established trees and shrubs, offering both privacy and charm.
A newly decorated, expansive patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The property is situated in the small village of Cold Ash, two miles north of the bustling market town of Thatcham.
The village has a village store and post office, plus two local pubs, while there are also two primary schools in the village.
Thatcham has several shops and a choice of restaurants and cafés, while Newbury is another vibrant town with excellent shopping, supermarkets and entertainment facilities, including at the Kennet Centre.
Leisure facilities include Kennet Leisure Centre in Thatcham, Northcroft Park and Leisure Centre in Newbury, and golf at Donnington Valley and Newbury & Crookham Golf Club.
Newbury is also home to world-class horse racing at Newbury Racecourse.
The M3 and M4 are both close-at-hand, providing access towards London, the M25, Heathrow airport, and west towards Bristol and the southwest.
