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
WHITEKNIGHTS - WhiteKnights are delighted to offer for sale this deceptively secluded four bedroom detached family home, enjoying a wonderfully private setting approached via its own driveway with extensive parking, generous gardens and versatile accommodation.
Tucked away from Fairmead Road and approached via a private driveway, this individual four bedroom detached home enjoys a particularly attractive and secluded position, creating an almost oasis like setting that is quite unexpected within such a convenient residential location.
Surrounded by established trees, mature hedging and beautifully screened gardens the property offers an unusual degree of privacy with a sense of space and tranquillity that makes it feel pleasantly removed from its surroundings.
The accommodation offers a versatile and practical layout ideally suited to family living.
The ground floor features a comfortable living room extending to approximately 16' 3" together with a separate dining room both enjoying access to a particularly generous conservatory measuring almost 22' in length.
This additional reception space provides an attractive setting for relaxation or entertaining with pleasant views towards the gardens.
The kitchen is conveniently positioned alongside the dining room, while a substantial separate utility room provides valuable additional space and independent access to the outside.
A ground floor shower room completes the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned measuring approximately 16' 1" × 10' 10" with three further bedrooms offering flexibility for family members, guests or home working.
A family bathroom serves all four bedrooms. Outside is where this property really distinguishes itself.
The private approach opens into an extensive driveway providing off road parking for numerous vehicles, an increasingly valuable feature for larger households or those with additional vehicles.
The generous front garden and established landscaping contribute to the property's secluded character while the mature rear garden offers an attractive outdoor setting with established trees and hedging providing a pleasing sense of enclosure and privacy.
There is ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining and simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The location combines this feeling of seclusion with the convenience of village living.
Shinfield is a popular and well established residential area to the south of Reading offering access to local shops, schools, everyday amenities and nearby countryside.
The area is also well placed for access to Reading town centre, Green Park, University of Reading and the M4 motorway at Junction 11 making it particularly convenient for commuters and families alike.
What makes Fairmead Road especially appealing is not simply its four bedroom accommodation or generous parking but the individuality of its setting.
Properties enjoying this degree of privacy, tucked away from the road behind mature landscaping yet remaining so conveniently located, are relatively unusual.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a detached family home with a distinctly private character, generous outside space and a setting that really needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
