Description
Step inside this unique four-bedroom detached property, coming to the market for the first time in 50 years. This house offers its new owners a piece of Reading history and the opportunity to transform it into an impressive family home. Having spent time with the current owners and their family, I can tell it has been lovingly cherished, creating lasting memories. Now, it’s time for the next custodians to write the next chapter of this home’s story.
Set back from the main road on a quarter-acre plot, the property features a generous driveway, discreetly hidden behind a well-maintained hedgerow. It also includes a single garage and a workshop, which provides access to the rear of the property. The 115' rear garden offers potential for extending the house and/or constructing additional outbuildings, which can be seen from neighbouring properties.
A property that needs to be viewed to fully appreciate the full potential that lies within it.
The Location:
The property is ideally located just meters from Leighton Park School, half a mile from Reading University, and one mile from the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Excellent public transport links are available, with the number 9 and 3 buses stopping just meters from the house, taking you to Reading Station in just 23 minutes. From there, London Paddington is only a 27-minute train journey away.
South Reading has always been popular for easy access to the M4 as well being able to commute to Wokingham, Bracknell, Maidenhead & Basingstoke within half an hours drive.
Locally, you’ll find award-winning green spaces within the university campus, which also features a hidden gem of a pub that serves locally sourced beers and food. Local shops and supermarkets are within half a mile radius, and additionally some of Reading’s most talked-about independent restaurants are close by as well.
