Edgehill Street, Reading, RG1

A NOTE FROM THE HOMEOWNER - Agent Ref - AR01

I bought this property in 2013 and have always taken pride in looking after it. Between tenancies I’ve continued to invest in improvements, carrying out redecoration and upgrades while ensuring the annual gas safety checks and five-year electrical inspections were always kept up to date. I’ve always wanted the property to be well maintained and a place people were happy to call home. I hope the next owners enjoy making it their own and creating many happy memories here.

AGENT'S PERSPECTIVE

This three bedroom, two bathroom Victorian home offers more flexibility than most properties of its type, combining character, practicality and a genuine turnkey finish. What I really like is that it works for so many different buyers, first-timers, professionals, young families, without anyone having to compromise.

Step through the front door and the refurbished galley kitchen is straight ahead, with new worktops and new flooring giving it a really fresh feel. The bay-fronted lounge sits off to the right, itself a versatile space that could easily work as a fourth bedroom. Also off the entrance hall, to the right, is the dining room, which overlooks the low-maintenance garden.

There's also a handy lobby between the kitchen and the downstairs bathroom, a small but clever bit of Victorian design that a lot of these homes miss out on. No shared walls between where you cook and, well, you know... always useful for clearing the air, so to speak.

Upstairs there are two generous doubles, a third bedroom that suits a nursery, child's room or home office, and a second bathroom. Two bathrooms on a Victorian terrace on Edgehill Street is rare, and it makes a real difference day to day.

The rear garden is elevated, with far-reaching views out over Reading, and comes with new fencing and a new hard standing already in place, low maintenance and ready to go. It's also a genuine opportunity, picture an L-shaped sofa, a barbecue area, this is a space you could turn into something really special.

Elsewhere, the home's had fresh carpets and new flooring throughout, recent redecoration, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and benefits from double glazing throughout.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare chance to buy a home that's genuinely ready to enjoy from the moment you get the keys
