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
Available with no onward chain. A beautifully presented four/five bedroom detached home within a mile of Newbury town centre with open views, double garage with studio above and south-facing garden.
The property is deceptively large and has been finished to a high standard throughout.
Description: Baytree Cottage is a substantial detached house built in the mid 1980’s and occupies an elevated position with far reaching views.
The current owners have been in the property just over 10 years and have made significant improvements since then.
The accommodation briefly comprises on the ground floor a large and welcoming entrance hall, impressive recently fitted kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room, substantial dual aspect dining room, study/bedroom 5, cloakroom and substantial sitting room with woodburning stove and French doors to the garden.
A staircase at the centre of the hall leads to an open landing with plenty of light through the Velux windows.
There is an excellent principal bedroom which has banks of built-in wardrobes and a luxury en suite bathroom complete with separate shower cubicle.
The accommodation is completed with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside: There is a double garage with remote electric up-and-over doors, power and electric within the garage and internal stairs to a studio.
This incorporates a large open room, kitchenette and shower room so could make an ideal office or spare bedroom.
The shared gravel drive leads to a private area providing parking for several cars and 2 storage sheds (in need of some attention).
The well tended, level garden is very appealing and wraps around three sides of the property.
There is access all around the house and within the garden there is a south facing patio adjacent to the house.
