Alpine Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1

This well presented two bedroom Victorian terrace house is conveniently located within close proximity of the town centre and offering good access to the M4 at Junction 11 via the A33. On the ground floor there are two reception rooms which retain some lovely original features including, Victorian fireplaces and stripped wooden floorboards. There is a modern fitted kitchen to the rear of the house with access to the garden. With living accommodation over three floors the upper floors have been reconfigured to create a generous living space. There is a spacious double bedroom on the top floor with ample storage and a double on the first floor with a built in wardrobe. Unlike many similar homes in the area, which either have the bathroom on the ground floor or off the second bedroom this home has a clever design incorporating a large first floor bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle which is accessed from a laundry area which also houses the boiler that was replaced in October 2024. To the rear of the house there is a private rear garden measuring approximately 60 ft in length with a patio area directly to the rear of the house and a lawned area beyond. This lovely home in this great location would make an excellent first time purchase, suit someone downsizing or be a great second home in a great location.
