Description

This four-bedroom detached bungalow, located on a private road in Emmer Green, has not been on the market for over sixty years and presents a unique opportunity for renovation and development, subject to planning permission. Set within a generous plot of 0.28 acres, the spacious layout includes an entrance hall, four well-sized bedrooms, a sizable family bathroom with an additional separate WC, and a modern kitchen. The open-plan L-shaped lounge/diner flows into a conservatory at the rear, offering plenty of natural light. Outside, the property features an expansive wrap-around garden, driveway parking, and a detached double garage. With the potential to enhance or extend the current structure, this property is ideal for those looking to invest in a home that can be transformed to suit individual needs. Additionally, it benefits from its proximity to Reading town centre (just 2.4 miles away) which provides access to mainline rail services into London. Caversham’s amenities are also close by at just 1.5 miles away, making this location highly desirable within popular school catchment areas such as Emmer Green Primary School and Highdown Secondary & Sixth Form.
