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
PARKERS PRESTIGE - An exceptional detached family home offering five bedrooms and three bathrooms, set within a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre.
Beautifully presented throughout, the property benefits from a large, well-maintained garden that backs directly onto Calcot Golf Course, providing a private and scenic outlook.
Conveniently located, the home is within easy reach of Reading town centre and Junction 12 of the M4 motorway.
Positioned in a highly sought-after location and backing onto the prestigious Calcot Park Golf Course, this charming detached property, built in the 1930s, seamlessly blends period character with modern convenience.
Ideally positioned, it is just a short drive from Reading town centre and Junction 12 of the M4 motorway, making it perfect for commuters.
Residents can enjoy the abundance of recreational facilities at Linear Park, including children’s play areas and scenic countryside walks that lead to the River Kennet.
For everyday amenities and shopping, Calcot Retail Park—home to Sainsbury's, Boots, Sports Direct, and IKEA—is conveniently nearby.
The property has been thoughtfully extended and fully refurbished over the years, now arranged over three floors and offering versatile living accommodation with 5/6 bedrooms.
Notably, it was rewired and fitted with a new central heating system featuring a Megaflo unit approximately eight years ago, ensuring modern efficiency and comfort.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a beautifully crafted, tiled entrance porch that opens into a tastefully decorated hallway.
The ground floor boasts a separate drawing room featuring a charming log burner with built-in storage and open shelving, as well as a versatile children’s playroom that could easily function as a study.
The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, living, and family area.
This stunning space includes a feature fireplace, generous dining area, and a designer kitchen complete with quartz work surfaces, fully integrated appliances, a one-and-a-half butler sink with waste disposal, and a boiling water tap.
The kitchen further benefits from bifold doors that open onto the garden, as well as a striking glass vaulted ceiling that floods the space with natural light.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room offering ample storage and plumbing for additional appliances. On the first floor, you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms.
The master suite is a true retreat, showcasing an exquisite oak-fitted dressing room and a lavish en-suite bathroom with a double walk-in shower.
A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, complete with a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower, perfect for family living.
The second floor provides further flexible space with a spacious bedroom, an additional living area (or potential sixth bedroom), and its own en-suite—ideal for guests or those seeking private quarters.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. A generous front driveway provides parking for several vehicles and access to the garage.
The rear garden has been meticulously re-landscaped, featuring a large patio area with a designated BBQ space—perfect for outdoor entertaining.
A professionally built summer house, equipped with power and heating, offers an ideal setting for a home gym, office, or leisure space. The expansive lawn is complemented by a substantial 200 sq.
metre artificial grass section, currently utilised as a children’s play park, making this home a haven for families seeking luxury, space, and a prime location.
