Mill Green, Caversham, Reading, Berkshire

For Sale By Public Auction - Tuesday 19th November 2024 (unless sold beforehand).

DESCRIPTION / LOCATION:  A semi-detached house in a quiet backwater on the outskirts of Caversham and particularly well placed for the nearby Lakes and a short distance across Reading Bridge to the railway station and the town centre beyond. Access is from Mill Road. The house has been in the same family for many years and is now in need of considerable expenditure to achieve modern standards and expectations. The other half of the semi has been extended including into the roof space and a similar opportunity may well exist. With a wide plot, there may also be the potential for additional development, perhaps by way of extension on the side garden.

Caversham is a very popular place to live, with a good range of shops in Prospect Street and Church Street including Waitrose and a little further is Reading Town Centre. Just to the north of Caversham there is lovely countryside with the A4074 providing easy access to Oxford.
