Meadowside Road, Pangbourne, Reading, West Berkshire

32 Meadowside Road is a renovated family home of 1,263 sq ft on a quiet no through road in Pangbourne. It sits on the side of the road where the gardens back onto mature trees and open green space rather than other houses, and homes here seldom come to market. The renovation is done and the house is being sold furnished, so you can move in and start living from day one, and the planning permission is in place for the house to grow with you.

The kitchen and living room runs across the back of the house and is where family life will happen. There is a large marble-topped island with seating for three, a range cooker and plenty of storage, and a skylight brings light into the middle of the room. Bi-fold doors open onto the patio, so you can cook while the children play in the garden and keep an eye on them the whole time.

At the front, the sitting room is a cosy space for the evenings, with a bay window, plantation shutters, an open fireplace and built-in shelving. The dining room has its own fitted shelves and French doors to the garden, and works just as well as a playroom or home office. A WC and utility room complete the ground floor.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, a third bedroom that suits a nursery or child’s room, and a family bathroom.

Planning permission was granted in March 2025 for a first floor extension over the existing kitchen, adding a master bedroom with its own en suite and a new family bathroom. It also allows the garage to become a store or utility room. Because the extension sits on the footprint already built, the next owner can add the space a growing family needs without losing any garden. The permission runs until March 2028, and the approved plans and decision notice are available on request.

The enclosed rear garden has a wide sandstone patio, a lawn for the children, raised vegetable beds and a pergola seating area at the far end, all set against a backdrop of mature trees. To the front, a gravel driveway gives parking for several cars alongside the garage.

Pangbourne is a Thames-side village with shops, cafés and schools, and the station is a walk away with direct trains to London Paddington. If you want village life for your family without giving up the commute, this is the house to see.
