Amherst Road, Reading, RG6

Charming Victorian Terrace on Amherst Road, Reading. Presented by Harry Hook.

This is one of those homes that perfectly balances character and practicality. Positioned on a popular residential road within easy reach of Reading town centre, the Royal Berkshire Hospital and the University of Reading, this attractive Victorian terrace has been thoughtfully improved to create a layout that feels perfectly suited to modern living.

The Property

Stepping inside, the property immediately showcases the charm expected from a Victorian home, with a number of original features retained throughout. The overall presentation ensures the home is ready to move straight into.

The bay-fronted living room at the front of the property is full of character and provides a comfortable space to relax, with period features including feature fireplace, helping to retain the home's Victorian charm

Positioned centrally within the home, the dining room also with a feature fireplace creates an excellent entertaining space and connects naturally with both the living room and kitchen, giving the ground floor a practical and sociable flow.

The layout has been thoughtfully reconfigured, with the bathroom now positioned on the first floor. This has allowed the original ground floor bathroom space to be transformed into a useful snug or home office positioned off the kitchen, creating a far more practical arrangement for modern day living.

The kitchen itself offers ample storage and worktop space, while the adjoining snug provides a flexible extension of the living accommodation and enjoys views over the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage. These are served by a large modern four piece family bathroom.

Outdoor Space

The rear garden has been designed with low maintenance and has good privacy.

To the front, residents benefit from permit parking.
