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
Grapevine Estate Agents take pleasure in bringing to the market with no onward chain this stunning four bedroom detached family home, occupying a particularly quiet position within this highly sought after development, immediately adjacent to Highwood Nature Reserve.
The property has been the subject of considerable improvement by the current owners and now offers an impressive combination of generous family accommodation, high quality finishes and a superb corner plot.
One of the most significant alterations has been the conversion of the original double garage to create a substantial kitchen and family space.
The kitchen has been fitted to an exceptionally high specification with an extensive range of contemporary units, quality work surfaces and a selection of integrated Miele appliances.
This impressive room provides a wonderful focal point for the home and is complemented by a separate utility room.
The ground floor accommodation is particularly versatile, offering four separate reception rooms which provide excellent flexibility for modern family living.
These spaces could comfortably accommodate formal dining, family living, a home office, playroom or additional sitting room depending on individual requirements.
Upstairs there are four well proportioned bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from its own dressing room and ensuite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Externally, the property occupies a generous corner plot providing a good degree of privacy and excellent outside space.
Following the conversion of the original garage, the owners have constructed a further detached double garage to the front of the property, providing excellent storage and parking facilities.
There is also ample off road parking for several vehicles. The position is a particular feature of the property.
Highwood Nature Reserve is close by, providing attractive woodland walks and open green space, while the house remains extremely convenient for Reading and the surrounding area.
Reading University and Palmer Park are both within walking distance, while excellent road links provide convenient access to the M4 motorway and the major local business parks.
The location therefore combines a peaceful residential setting with excellent accessibility for commuters, families and those working within Reading and the wider Thames Valley.
A beautifully improved and particularly spacious family home in a rarely available position, which we strongly recommend viewing to fully appreciate the accommodation, specification and setting on offer.
