Description

Owners' comments....

It was the first home I ever owned, so it holds a very special place in my heart and is filled with countless unforgettable memories. From the moment I moved in, it never just felt like a house—it truly became a home.

One of the things I loved most is the south-facing garden. It brings in beautiful sunlight throughout the day, and I’ve lost count of how many relaxing afternoons I spent there. Whether it was enjoying a quiet cup of tea, reading a book, or hosting barbecues with family and friends, the garden has always been a place of warmth, laughter, and connection.

Another favourite feature is the skylight with velix roof windows in the small functional space by the dining area. Especially during the winter months, when natural light feels extra precious, it creates such a cosy and uplifting atmosphere. I often found myself lying on a bean bag chair in that corner, watching my favourite series and simply being lazy there—it’s one of those little everyday moments that made living here so enjoyable.

The house is surrounded by a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood, with friendly neighbours—mostly young professional couples from the local Reading area. There’s a real sense of community here, while still offering privacy and calm.

Nearby, the green space at the entrance of the development has been another highlight. It’s perfect for walks, outdoor activities, and if you have children, there are football clubs and activities happening every weekend, making it a great environment for families.

For me, this home has given me comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging. I truly believe it will be just as special for its next owner—whether you’re a young professional starting your journey, or a family looking to create your own beautiful memories.

Dan & Neil Estate Agents' comments...

We absolutely love the design of this home with just shy 900 sq. ft. of well-planned accommodation, it provides a fantastic sense of space for a modern two-bedroom house.

As you step inside, you’re welcomed by a generous living room, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, which flows seamlessly through to the inner hallway. From here, you’ll find a convenient ground floor W/C. To the rear of the property sits the standout feature of the home – a stylish open-plan kitchen/dining area with a peninsular island and sky lights, ideal for modern living. Patio doors lead out to a south-west facing garden, allowing plenty of natural light and creating the perfect space for outdoor dining.

Upstairs continues to impress, with two spacious double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom, all presented in excellent condition throughout.

To round it all off, your parking is right out the front, the house is in beautiful turn-key condition and is being sold with no onward chain complications!

Area comments...

Garrett Drive is such a great location and the estate is fully private with no flats or high rise buildings making it really desirable spot to live in. To the front of the estate you have green space with cricket grounds and a pavilion as plenty of nice walks close by to enjoy. You are well connected to all your daily needs with Shinfield village having a post office, Co-Op and Tin Roof Cafè and you also have bus links from here taking you into both Reading and Wokingham towns, with an abundance of shops and restaurants to enjoy. That being said you have one of our favourite pubs within stumbling distance, The Shinfield Arms, perfect for an evening meal or you can enjoy their beer garden in the summer too.

We're a group of fun, passionate people on a mission to create an enjoyable experience all round. If we didn't, we'd be wearing suits and leaflet dropping! Not that there's anything wrong with that, we just happen to know there's a better way!
