Upper Woodcote Road, Caversham Heights, RG4

Fresh from a full and exacting programme of renovations, this detached four-bedroom property ticks all the boxes as the perfect family home. The generously proportioned house enjoys a highly sought-after position in Caversham Heights, close to open countryside and within the catchment area of several highly regarded schools. The house was originally built in the 1930s and has been extensively improved and updated to a very high standard, including side and rear extensions, rewiring and replumbing, adding underfloor heating, a full cosmetic redecoration and landscaping to the front and rear. The result is a stunning contemporary home which is future proofed for many years to come.

Great care and attention to detail has been exercised over the renovation; a highlight is the concealed lighting throughout which even extends into the garden, as well as the striking open plan 900sqft living space at the rear and the reception hall which creates an inviting feel with its ‘floating’ staircase. Complementary tones and materials of blonde woods, white walls and black accents create excellent flow and a cohesive design. The spacious layout is well suited to family life, comprising a sitting room and separate snug at the front of the house, a generous open plan family room, kitchen and dining room, a separate laundry room/boot room and a shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs there is an impressive principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, dressing room and en suite shower room, an en suite guest bedroom, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside

The house enjoys great kerb appeal, set back from the road behind a large gravel driveway with contemporary fencing and new hedging. There is a garage for parking and storage, plus a detached workshop in the rear garden offering versatile use.

The west-facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a series of outdoor ‘rooms’ ideal for family living and entertaining. A spacious terrace provides plenty of room for alfresco dining, leading to a decked area with a hot tub (available separately). A standout feature is the partly sunken covered seating area with built-in benches, while paths wind through lawns, flowerbeds, and mature planting, forming a private outdoor retreat.

Situation

To the southwest of Henley and ideally situated for access to Reading is the charming village of Caversham, which has an extensive array of amenities including tennis, football and golf clubs, shops, restaurants, a vet surgery and a primary school. Caversham Heights has two recreational parks and is well located for access to the lovely countryside to the west of the village. Reading city centre is two miles away and has extensive shopping and leisure amenities, as well as a mainline station with services to London on the Elizabeth Line. The property is conveniently located for commuters, with easy access to the M4 and M40 motorways. Popular local schools include Moulsford Prep, Cranford House, Queen Anne’s, The Oratory and Reading Bluecoat.
