Derby Road, Caversham, Reading, Berkshire, RG4

Property Description
An impressive and substantial late Victorian six-bedroom residence, occupying a prime position on this highly sought-after private road, ideally located for the excellent amenities of Caversham and within comfortable walking distance of Reading’s mainline railway station.

Dating from 1898, the property was refurbished by it's previous owner and has been further enhanced by the present owners, creating a truly exceptional family home. The house retains a wealth of elegant period features, including ornate cornicing, sash windows and fireplaces, while the magnificent entrance hall is particularly striking, featuring a stunning half-turned staircase.

The accommodation is wonderfully grand in scale, with generously proportioned rooms, impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light throughout. Arranged over four floors, the property offers a substantial amount of versatile living and bedroom accommodation, all presented and finished to an exacting standard.

The grounds are equally appealing. To the rear is a beautifully landscaped, walled and south-facing garden, providing a wonderfully private and secluded setting. To the front, a generous garden offers extensive off-street parking, adding further practicality to this distinguished and characterful Victorian home. EPC C
