Property Details
Why the owner loves the property:
Tucked away in the heart of Reading yet worlds apart in character, East Lodge is a truly rare find - a charming detached gatehouse with a rich heritage dating back to 1810. Once part of the historic Coley House manor estate and designed by the distinguished architect Daniel Asher Alexander, this Grade II listed property offers a unique blend of period features and modern comforts.
Enveloped by a beautifully landscaped, wraparound garden, the home exudes warmth and character at every turn. Inside, you’ll find three cozy bedrooms, a stylishly updated kitchen and bathroom, and a welcoming lounge complete with a working fireplace and log burner, ideal for winter evenings.
What sets East Lodge apart is the lifestyle it offers. A spacious 28m² purpose-built garden studio (with full electricity and acoustic treatment) provides the perfect sanctuary for musicians, creatives, or those working from home. Thoughtful touches like a pergola, patio seating area, large shed and wood store make outdoor living both elegant and practical.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a professional couple, solo buyer, or small family looking for history, charm, and space just a short walk from the station and town centre.
