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 extended five-bedroom detached family home occupies a highly regarded position on Charlton Heights, one of Wantage's most established and sought-after residential developments, dating from the 1960s.
The location is particularly popular with families, being just a short walk from Charlton Primary School, while also offering excellent commuter links to Harwell Science Campus, Didcot Parkway and the M4 corridor to the south.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers generous and flexible living space.
The property is presented in clean and tidy order, with much of the interior reflecting its mid-century origins, and would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and updating, including (but not limited to) works such as rewiring, re-carpeting and replacement of internal joinery.
The ground floor includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen, which opens into the extended accommodation incorporating a useful utility/storage area with internal access to the integral garage.
To the rear, a lobby provides access to a downstairs cloakroom and a pantry/store.
The two-storey extension creates a large principal bedroom, a generous family bathroom and a landing with built-in storage cupboards.
Subject to the usual consents and building regulations approval, this area offers excellent potential to be reconfigured to form a substantial principal suite with en suite shower room and dressing area, with the existing shower room then serving the four original bedrooms.
Externally, the property enjoys well-established gardens to both the front and rear.
The front garden is laid mainly to lawn with stocked borders and a hardstanding driveway providing off-street parking and access to the integral single garage, which benefits from power, lighting and a motorised roller door.
The south-facing rear garden features a patio retained by a low-level wall leading onto a lawn with mature planting, shrubs and a timber shed.
The lower section of the garden is a former vegetable plot, screened by trellis and hedging.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial long-term family home in a prime residential setting, with clear scope to update and personalise.
