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.

Tucked away in a sought-after part of Tilehurst, just moments from the village centre, excellent schools, open countryside, and rail links to London, this property offers a lifestyle that’s both connected and quietly secluded.
From the moment you step inside, this home delivers a perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary touches.
High ceilings, natural light, and generous room sizes give an immediate sense of space and comfort.
The layout is highly adaptable – ideal for growing families, home-based professionals, or those seeking multigenerational living.
The ground floor hosts a spacious entrance hall, a bright bay-fronted dining room, a separate family room (also ideal as a bedroom), a well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with garden views, a dedicated study, and a full family bathroom.

Whether it’s a media room, home business hub or retreat space, this level adds a unique dimension to everyday living.
Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room, and an en suite to bedroom two – all combining style and practicality.
