Description
Offering over 1,700 sq ft of versatile accommodation (including the loft room and garage), the property comprises two generous double bedrooms, a versatile third bedroom, a spacious open-plan kitchen/living area, separate dining/snug, family bathroom, first-floor WC, fully boarded loft room accessed via a conventional staircase, utility room, pantry, as well as a generous garage and additional secure garden storage.
Original timber floorboards, internal doors, staircase, exposed beams and other period details have been preserved wherever possible, complemented by high-quality contemporary additions including bespoke glazed oak internal doors, a Solidor composite front door, smart heating controls, extensive LED lighting and Velux roof windows above the staircase and within the loft, flooding both areas with natural light and providing excellent ventilation.
Behind the scenes, the house has been upgraded to a standard rarely found in properties of this age. Improvements include a new roof, replacement double-glazed windows, new electrical and gas installations, and significantly improved insulation. Ultrafast broadband is available via Openreach and CityFibre (up to 2.5Gbps), with Virgin Media also connected. Wired network points are provided in several rooms, making the property ideal for home working.
The accommodation has been designed with everyday living in mind. The open-plan kitchen and living space forms the heart of the home, complemented by a separate dining/snug featuring a DEFRA-exempt Charnwood C4 wood-burning stove. A dedicated pantry, practical utility room and exceptionally long garage provide storage and workspace rarely found in comparable homes.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden offers a sunny timber deck adjoining the living area, a second paved seating area, mature planting, a pond and plenty of space for children, entertaining or gardening. Established features include a magnificent century-old scented rose bush and a mature Mirabelle plum tree, reflecting the heritage of the property.
The property also offers excellent scope for future enhancement. Previous planning permission was granted for a full loft conversion with rear dormer, while there remains potential (subject to any necessary consents) for a garden annexe, enlarged first-floor bathroom or EV charger installation.
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac of established homes, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with excellent access to Reading town centre, Reading West station, local bus routes, schools, Prospect Park and the M4 motorway. A generous private driveway, an exceptionally long garage and unrestricted on-street parking mean there is no need for residents' parking permits.
