Woodford Close, Reading, RG4

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in Caversham Heights, this detached home has something increasingly difficult to find: space that can genuinely adapt as life changes.

Need room for a parent to live with you? There is a generous ground-floor room positioned immediately beside a shower room and away from the main circulation of the house, creating a degree of privacy that could work brilliantly for multigenerational living.

Run a business from home? At the far end of the garden is a substantial insulated garden building, divided into two separate rooms, each with its own entrance. Currently used as an office and gym, it could lend itself equally well to consulting or treatment space, a studio, personal training, two separate offices or simply somewhere to work without work taking over the house.

And if neither applies to you? It simply means a lot of flexible space for family life.

Inside, the main living room is a bright and comfortable space, with a fireplace creating a natural focal point and wide glazed doors opening directly onto the terrace and garden. It is one of those rooms where the outside really becomes part of the view, with mature planting and trees providing a wonderfully green backdrop.

The kitchen/dining room is generously proportioned, with plenty of room to gather around the table and French doors opening onto the garden. It's a lovely outlook over breakfast, dinner or a morning coffee. A useful separate utility space keeps the practical bits tucked away.

The additional ground-floor room is one of the features that makes this home particularly interesting. Currently used as living space, its size, position and proximity to the shower room mean it could readily become a fourth bedroom, guest room or a more permanent space for an older parent or adult child. There is also access from here to useful additional storage above.

Upstairs are three bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms are both comfortable doubles, while the third is currently arranged as a home office and would make a good child's bedroom, nursery or study. Bedroom two also has access to a substantial additional storage area, and the bedrooms enjoy wonderfully leafy outlooks. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

And then there is the garden. Extending to approximately 100ft and facing south, it feels peaceful, established and remarkably private. Mature trees and planting surround you, there's an established apple tree, plenty of lawn for children and entertaining, and space towards the rear for vegetable beds if growing your own appeals.

The detached garden building sits right at the end, giving genuine separation between home and work. With two insulated rooms and individual entrances, this is far more than somewhere to occasionally put a laptop. For anyone whose business or working life needs dedicated space, it could fundamentally change how the house works for them. Any business use would, of course, be subject to any necessary consents.

To the front, there is driveway parking for multiple vehicles together with a particularly generous garage, measuring over 22ft in length and with internal access to the house.

The location gives you the best of both worlds too. Reading Station provides fast connections into London for commuters, while in the opposite direction the Oxfordshire countryside is virtually on your doorstep for weekend walks, cycling, golf and country pub lunches. Regular bus services connect Caversham, Reading and Oxford, while Caversham itself offers a thriving mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

Families are particularly well served, with the property falling within the catchment for The Heights Primary School alongside a choice of other well-regarded schooling locally.

This is a home that could work just as well for a young family as it could for three generations living together, a hybrid-working household or somebody building a business from home. Crucially, it has the space to continue adapting long after you move in.

No onward chain.
