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
A modern, detached family home situated on the outskirts of the village of Watchfield.
With fantastic road links to Swindon and Oxford, this property benefits from a beautiful and private garden, garage, and is offered to the open market with no onward chain.
The double-fronted accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall with stairs to the first floor.
To one side of the hall is a bright, dual aspect living room with French doors out to the garden, on the other side is the kitchen / diner.
This is fitted with a range of floor and wall mounted units, and many integrated appliances such as double oven, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, and wine cooler.
A separate utility room provides access to the garden and incorporates a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor are four bedrooms all benefitting from fitted wardrobes.
The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and the internal accommodation is completed by the family bathroom.
Outside this house has off-road parking for two vehicles and gated side access through to the rear garden. This is exceptionally private and a lovely space.
It is laid predominantly to lawn with mature flower and shrub boarders and a good size patio.
Watchfield has a charming village centre with a church, village hall and public house, and a small shopping centre with a public house and a restaurant near the roundabout with the A420.
The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom provides post-graduate level education for UK and overseas military personnel.
Many students and staff live in the village and play an active part in community life.
The excellent village primary school has children from several different countries, which makes for an interesting learning environment.
Together, Watchfield and Shrivenham make one of the larger village areas within the Vale of the White Horse and are located to the north east of Swindon (circa 5 miles) and to the south west of the market town of Faringdon (circa 5 miles).
A bypass built in 1984 ensures that the rural atmosphere of both villages is preserved. Shrivenham also has an extremely active community.
There is a lovely tree-lined high street with shops, restaurants, public houses, a doctors’ surgery, and Methodist and Church of England churches.
There is also a newly built primary school with nursery, and a golf course. Both villages are ideally located for access to the M4 at Swindon and the A420 leading to Oxford and beyond.
There is a frequent bus service from Swindon to Oxford and back.
