Sellers Comments-
Stanhope Road will always have a special place in our hearts as the first home we owned together. The location was perfect for us - close to the University and local amenities such as Cintra Park, eateries and leisure facilities, as well as only a short bus ride into town. Despite the central location, Stanhope Road itself is peaceful and quiet.

The house has lots of character, but has also been updated and maintained to a high standard over the years. We particularly loved the open plan kitchen/diner and large garden, where we've enjoyed hosting pizza parties and games nights with family and friends. We often see a variety of birds in the garden including robins and a woodpecker, as well as the odd butterfly, which adds to the feeling of seclusion. We've really enjoyed redecorating the living room/bedrooms and putting our own personal stamp on the home over the 3 years we've lived here.

We will be really sad to leave Stanhope Road and could have happily stayed here for several more years. However, an unexpected change in our circumstances means we are now able to look at upsizing. The house is perfect for couples and young families and we're sure the next owners will have many happy years here.

Kiel's Comments-
Situated in the sought-after University area of Reading, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached home on Stanhope Road blends period character with fantastic potential for future growth.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the character features including a striking bay window, high ceilings, and spacious proportions throughout — hallmarks of the property’s 1930s heritage. The home is well-presented and offers bright and airy living accommodation with a welcoming entrance hallway, two reception rooms, and a fitted kitchen that opens onto the generous rear garden — ideal for families or entertaining in the warmer months.

Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property offers ample off-road parking with potential for three vehicles via the private driveway and boasts exciting potential to extend (subject to planning permission), making it a great option for growing families or those looking to add value.

Whether you’re looking for a characterful home ready to move into, or a project with room to grow, this lovely property ticks all the boxes.

• Three-bedroom semi-detached 1930s home
• Bay fronted living room and high ceilings throughout
