Lancaster Gardens, Earley, Reading

First time to the market since new | Superb position in Aldryngton and Maiden Erlegh catchments | Large gardens with an opportunity to update, improve and enlarge.

3 double bedrooms, bathroom, downstairs cloakroom, lounge/ dining room, kitchen, garage, large gardens extending to a maximum of about 130ft by 120ft at their widest point, driveway parking, gas radiator central heating, double glazed windows, no onward chain.

A Gough Cooper built detached family home, purchased from new in 1962 by the owner and largely unmodernised apart from the installation of cavity wall insulation, double-glazed windows and a new boiler. The property is very clean and tidy and has superb, secluded gardens offering significant potential for extension (subject to all necessary consents). The property is being sold with no onward chain.

The location is excellent, being within the catchment of Aldryngton and Maiden Erlegh schools and backing onto Aldryngton Primary School itself. The University and Maiden Erlegh Nature Reserve are close by and there are local shops available at The Parade on Silverdale Road, with more extensive facilities at Lower Earley or Woodley.

Bus services along Silverdale Road provide access into Reading town centre, where the main line railway station offers services to Paddington, services on the Elizabeth line, and services to Waterloo which run through the nearby Earley Railway Station.

The M4 motorway can be accessed either at Junction 11, where there is also the A33 south to Basingstoke, as well as Green Park and its new railway station; or at Junction 10 where London then lies approximately 40 miles away and Heathrow Airport approximately 28 miles away.
