Description

A Note from the Homeowner

This home has been part of our family for over 60 years – passed down through three generations. It was originally bought by our grandmother, and has been a constant part of our lives ever since.

The area has a close sense of community. And the green spaces of Palmer and Sol Joel Parks just a short stroll away. The property sits within the Maiden Erlegh catchment area.

Everyday essentials are easy too – with local shops just around the corner.

In more recent years, the property has been rented out – but it has always been looked after by the family.

We hope the next family enjoys it here as much as we have.

Alex’s Best Bits

First things first – the location’s great. You’re in East Reading, right on the number 17 bus route, giving you easy access straight into town.

I really liked these character homes – what with the charming brickwork, there’s a blocked-up fireplace in the front lounge, and if someone fancied installing a wood burner, they could do so. The chimney is there – it would just need lining, which any good installer can arrange.

Two massive ticks:
• The windows were replaced in 2023, with FENSA certificates available.
• The consumer unit was upgraded in 2023 as well and comes with certification.

That’s proper peace of mind when you’re moving into a property.

There’s an outbuilding in the garden, currently used for storage – but if you’ve got a bit of imagination, it could easily be turned into a small home office or studio.

The garden itself is low maintenance – block paving, no lawn to look after.

There is much to love on the inside,
• The two living rooms and two bedrooms are in very good order.
• Carpets are relatively new.
• Walls, ceilings, and the doors upstairs are all in great condition.

The kitchen and bathroom on the other hand, will need some attention.
The bathroom would ideally need a full refit unless you happen to love the retro look, we have a vintage, luminous bluey/green suite.
The kitchen is functional and usable but upgrading it would definitely finish the house off.

What to add some value?
In the loft, there’s a skylight already in place. Subject to the relevant planning approval, there’s a great opportunity to create a snug, games room, or home office. This would come off the front bedroom – giving you a two-plus-one setup

Parking is no issue either – the road is wide enough for parking on both sides under the permit system, and spaces are usually easy to find.

Location-wise, you’ve got a pub at the top of the road for an afternoon pint, Palmer Park close by if you fancy a run or want to walk the dog. For commuters, there are excellent links out to Woodley, Sonning, the A329, and the M4. Also, Earley Station is about 1.5 miles away.

If you’re looking for a home with character, scope to add value, and a location that just works – this could be the one.
Get in touch to arrange a viewing – we’d love to show you around.
