Downshire Square, Reading, RG1

Situated in the sought-after Downshire Square conservation area, and coming to the market for the first time in over 50 years, this exceptionally rare 4 bedroom detached home is offered to the market with no onward chain.

The generous proportions and high ceilings are a feature throughout this home and are evident as soon as you enter the entrance hall. Moving into the triple-aspect reception room the sense of space, and possibility, continues. Measuring over 30 feet and with a bay window to front, two windows to the side and patio doors to the garden this room is a versatile space ready for a new owner to make their mark. The same can be said for the kitchen/breakfast room, which is a generous size and functional, and offers the opportunity to extend or reconfigure subject to relevant planning permissions and regulations.

Along with the wooden floorboards that feature in the majority of the rooms, the central staircase, leading you up to the first and second floors, brings character and charm to this home. All four bedrooms are generous doubles, three of which are located on the first floor and are served by a modernised bathroom, with the fourth bedroom and further modernised bathroom on the second floor. The principal bedroom measures over 18 feet by 16 feet, is dual-aspect, and has the potential to add an en-suite with plumbing already in place.

Venturing outside the space and potential continues. The house sits centrally within its plot providing a gated front garden, driveway for multiple cars, detached garage with access to the rear garden, side access, and walled Westerly-facing rear garden. There is a lean-to conservatory as well as two small brick outbuildings, one housing a WC.
