Sellers Comments-
"We bought this home in 2017 from the original owners. We instantly loved the fantastic original features, such as the original parquet floors and huge windows which allow natural light to flood through the house at all times of the day. However the property needed modernisation throughout and we really wanted to maximise the available internal space.
As well as completing the essential updates to the property (such as electrical rewiring of the whole property, installation of new windows and doors, and installation of a new boiler), we also had the integral garage converted into a play room, to enable our family to grow and play. Modernisation was completed with the installation of a new bathroom, a new kitchen and we also optimised the understairs storage space to create the addition of a downstairs toilet. There remains further scope to extend further on either the back or the side, as the garden is so generous.
The huge garden is a massive asset to our home and we have spent so much time outside, enjoying this as a young family. The garden benefits from sunlight for the entire day, as the sun moves from the back to the front of the house. In the hot afternoons, the house provides shade cover to half of the garden, so you can choose whether to embrace the sun or hide in the shade. We have installed a large shed for storage, and the garden is still plenty large enough to house a play shed for the children, all their outside toys, a large washing line, a paddling pool and we also installed a patio for dining and BBQ’s/firepits. In the spring, the flowerbeds bloom with beautiful tulips and daffodils and in the summer the fushias come into their own (the original owners were very keen gardeners and the garden still benefits from their hard work).
Despite being close to Reading town centre, this is a really peaceful and quiet place to live. The cul de sac is incredibly peaceful, the neighbours are friendly and respectful. Parking is always available. Our children have loved extending their play space by learning to ride their bikes in the cul de sac!
One of the benefits of our home has been the proximity to the activities we have needed as a young family. The community centre is a short walk away, which is ideal for health visitor drop in sessions for young children, and we are also a short walk to at least 2 pre-schools. We are a few minutes walk to Southcote Primary school, which is the catchment school and where our children have thrived.
It has been fantastic to be able to walk our children to their hobbies; attending Southcote Library, and ballet and gymnastics lessons which are all less than a 5 minutes walk away from the house. Prospect Park is less than 15 minutes walk and offers plenty of play opportunities for kids and adults! Park Run is hosted on the weekends for adults, as well as a junior park run. The model railway offers miniature train rides one Sunday every month which has always been a hit with the children. The modern park, climbing wall, crazy golf, football and tennis courts, and café are all recent fantastic additions. Buses run to town regularly, with the bus stop only a few minutes walk away.
We have also loved being only a 10 minute walk away to the canal and open countryside. The Cunning Man pub is a beautiful pub which is only a 30 minute canal-side walk away.
This home has provided everything that our young family has needed and we have had a very happy 8 years here, watching our children be so fortunate to grow in such a child-friendly location."
Kiel's Comments-
I’m proud to share with you this three double bedroom semi-detached family home, tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Lytham Close, Southcote, Reading, RG30.
One of the standout features here is the corner plot garden. It’s genuinely sizable — on par with, and in some cases up to twice the size of, neighbouring plots — offering fantastic outdoor space for family life, entertaining, or future plans. Homes like this don’t come along often in this position.
Inside, the décor is adventurous and full of personality. It’s cosmetic rather than structural and, to me, simply reflects what a well-loved, lived-in family home should feel like. For buyers wanting to personalise, it presents a brilliant blank canvas without the need for immediate major works.
The accommodation offers three true double bedrooms, ideal for growing families, home working or flexible living arrangements and the GCH boiler was replaced in 2018. Outside, there is driveway parking and, importantly, generous scope to extend (subject to the usual planning permissions), allowing the next owners to grow into the home over time rather than out of it.
Set within a family-centric location and a commuter-friendly hub, this is a home that balances space, privacy and practicality in equal measure.
