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
*** Charming Victorian cottage with character features, parking and private garden *** Dating back to approximately 1875, this delightful Victorian cottage is believed to be one of the oldest homes in the immediate area and offers a wonderful blend of period charm and modern practicality.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property retains much of its original character, including exposed beams, brick feature walls, fireplaces and traditional cottage styling, creating a warm and welcoming home with real personality.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a cosy living room, a separate dining room full of character, a fitted kitchen and a useful utility area, together with a ground floor bathroom.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. Outside, the property enjoys a mature and enclosed garden, providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Double gates open onto a private driveway offering off-road parking for two vehicles, a rare benefit for a property of this age and location.
Positioned within easy walking distance of both Reading town centre and Caversham, the property is ideally placed for local shops, restaurants, riverside walks and Reading's mainline railway station, offering fast links into London and beyond.
Combining character, convenience and practicality in equal measure, this charming cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home in one of Reading's most sought-after locations.
