Set along a quiet, established road on the edge of Reading town centre, this characterful 1930s box-bay semi-detached home combines period personality with the space and practicality needed for modern family life.
The accommodation extends to approximately 980 sq ft, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall and a bay-fronted living room centred around a freestanding stove. To the rear, the house opens into a generous kitchen and dining room designed for cooking, eating and spending time together, with glazed doors providing a natural connection to the garden. A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom keep the everyday essentials neatly away from the main living space.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two impressive doubles measuring approximately 16 feet in length, together with a contemporary shower room featuring a generous walk-in enclosure and wood-effect vanity unit.
Outside, the mature rear garden offers a lawn, established planting, a water feature and separate areas for dining and relaxing. Both side and rear access make it particularly convenient for bicycles and gardening equipment.
At the front, a double-width driveway provides valuable off-road parking, a considerable advantage in a location this close to town. Local amenities, schools and transport connections are all within easy reach, making this a home that offers peace and privacy without sacrificing everyday convenience.
