Seller’s comments:

"We moved into this house in 2017 and it quickly became our family home. Over the past nine years, we have watched our children grow here and created many happy memories along the way.

Both boys started at Aldryngton primary school, which is only a short walk from the house. As the years passed, our elder son went on to Reading Boys’ grammar school and now takes the bus from Early railway station, just five minutes away. The area also benefits from excellent outstanding schools and nurseries within the catchment, which was a big reason we chose to move in.

One of the things we appreciated most from the beginning was the extra space created by the garage, which is built beyond the garden. This additional passage gave our boys plenty of room to stay active, riding their bikes and playing football, badminton and cricket. The west facing garden brings in sunlight throughout the day, making it a pleasant space to use year-round.

Parking has never been a concern, with space alongside the house leading up to the garage, parking on the driveway, and additional on street parking available.

We have taken good care of the house over the years. It has been repainted throughout, the kitchen has been transformed, both bathrooms have been renovated, and the boiler and hot water tank have been replaced, with the boiler still under warranty. The garden has also been improved through landscaping and the addition of a new patio.

We added built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and fitted a home office with built-in cupboards and bookshelves. The wall-to-wall wardrobe in the main bedroom has provided much needed storage, and the dressing table is a feature my wife still enjoys every day.

Walking or cycling to Southlake has become part of our routine, and it is a place where we regularly spend time with family and friends.

The neighborhood is friendly and welcoming, with a real sense of community.

Day to day life here has always been easy, with the high street and local shop only minutes away. Having the train station within walking distance has made travel to Reading, Oxford and London very convenient.

This has been a safe, happy and easy place to raise our boys, which makes the decision to leave a difficult one. As they grow older, we now need more space and privacy for them. We hope the next family will enjoy this home and the area as much as we have."
