Description

Cardigan Gardens: Charming Victorian End Terrace in Reading’s University Area (RG1)

This charming Victorian END TERRACE is full of character and tucked away at the top of the street, offering flexible accommodation over three floors: ideal for modern living and working from home.

Estate Agents View: Georgina & Sarah

We love the kerb appeal and character of this lovely home, beautifully framed with side brickwork and bay window.
A gated front terrace with classic path tiles leads to the covered porch area and entrance hallway inside. There is a welcoming front reception room/snug with an absolutely gorgeous fireplace, exposed wooden floorboards and bay window; a perfect cosy lounge.

The second reception room (dining room) is a great size, also featuring a stunning fireplace and a clever utility cupboard tucked away under the stairs, ideal for keeping things organised and tidy.

To the rear of the property, steps lead down to the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has a side stable door leading out to the garden and features solid wood worktops, an induction hob and tall cupboards, truly maximising the storage space available.

For someone dreaming of a more open-plan kitchen, there is certainly space and scope to adapt the dining room into a kitchen/diner, with the existing kitchen then being ideal for a utility room or retained as a “chef’s kitchen” perfect for buyers seeking flexible living and entertaining space.

The recently refitted three-piece bathroom has a shower over bath. The rear garden is low maintenance with patio area and lawn.

On the first floor, to the rear, the main bedroom is a great size, with a built-in wardrobe and lovely feature fireplace.
Leading off this room is the third bedroom/study room, currently used as a study, making it ideal for home working, a dressing room or even a nursery. This space also offers potential to be converted into an en-suite should a first-floor bathroom be desired.

To the front, there is a second dual-aspect double bedroom with storage cupboard and traditional feature fireplace.

The recent loft conversion has been designed in a really clever way to ensure the second bedroom remains a double, while now providing a versatile fourth bedroom on the top floor, it is currently used as an additional study and spare bedroom. Flooded with natural light from two Velux windows, it enjoys pretty town centre rooftop views and includes eaves storage on either side. This level is perfect as a dedicated home office or creative workspace.

Sellers View:

"This was the first home we owned, and we will always have fond memories of it. We sympathetically replaced the doors and windows when we moved in, and renovated the bathroom in 2021. We converted the loft into an extra room in 2023, and it has made the house a much roomier place. We will miss sitting on the steps down to the kitchen with a cup of tea, the trees and birds in the garden, and the beautiful wooden floor boards."

Location: Cardigan Gardens, University Area, RG1

A few minutes’ walk to the University, St Joseph’s School, Café Yolk and the Co-op just down the road. The hospital is within 10 minutes walk and Reading town centre and mainline train station are within 20 minutes—making this an excellent choice for commuters needing fast access to London Paddington and hybrid workers.

Please contact Georgina & Sarah to arrange your private viewing.
