The Street, Swallowfield, Reading, Berkshire, RG7

A TRUE VILLAGE SETTING - Swallowfield is one of the most talked-about areas that we cover. We speak to so many people who tell us that it is their dream to live here, yet they don’t even consider it an option simply because properties come to the market so infrequently.

It’s a fantastic place to grow up in, settle down in or retire to, and it really does have something for everyone. A quintessential English village, Swallowfield is well known for its picturesque setting, traditional local amenities and strong sense of community. It is arguably the last of the local villages to still boast its own GP practice and pharmacy, general store, Post Office, a pub, Parish Hall, church and thriving community.

Set within this wonderful village, this charming home balances beautifully and offers plenty of kerb appeal. The impressive frontage, private gated entrance and attractive setting create a great first impression.

Internally, the home boasts a terrific flow and a wonderful feeling of space, with natural light travelling through the accommodation and reaching all the right places.
Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of the property, however, is the scope it offers for the future. There is plenty of potential for renovation, reconfiguration and potentially extending the accommodation, subject of course to the necessary planning consents. In many ways, it is a true blank canvas — a fabulous opportunity to take a substantial family home and shape it around your own requirements and lifestyle.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway, which leads through to the principal living accommodation. The generous living room is particularly impressive, with a double-width opening leading through to a separate dining room on one side and a sizeable conservatory on the other. This creates a wonderful sense of space and provides plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and bringing the family together. The separate kitchen offers an excellent amount of worktop space and a good range of cupboards, while a useful downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guests or those requiring additional home-working space. The sizeable three-piece family bathroom is fitted with a Jacuzzi bath, and there is also access to a generous loft, providing useful additional storage.

Outside, the rear garden is private and enjoys a lovely sunny aspect, making it a great space to relax and entertain. There is convenient side access to the front of the property, along with access to a substantial double garage, providing excellent additional storage and parking.

All in all, this is a fabulous family home in a lovely and highly sought-after traditional village setting, offering generous accommodation, a wonderful sense of space and plenty of scope to make it your own. Properties in this setting are rarely available, so we would strongly recommend an early viewing. Viewings can be arranged immediately and are strictly by appointment only.
