Description

This four-bedroom Edwardian home, built in 1905, is situated on one of the most sought-after streets near Reading University.

The interior features an inviting entrance hall and two spacious reception rooms that include traditional fireplaces, setting the stage for potential enhancements that can elevate both functionality and aesthetics. The galley kitchen, equipped with a pantry, provides ample space to reimagine the heart of the home. At the rear of the sitting room, you'll find access to a conservatory that retains its original character—ideal for reimagining as part of an open-plan layout or as a cozy reading nook. The upper level hosts four bedrooms along with a west-facing balcony, bathroom, and separate WC—each presenting opportunities to adapt layouts to modern needs. Externally, this property benefits from driveway parking for up to two vehicles and a front garden. The south-east facing rear garden is particularly noteworthy; it features mature landscaping along with practical storage options including a wooden shed and greenhouse. An additional outside WC and store provide extra utility for any future plans. Located adjacent to Reading University’s expansive green campus, this residence offers not only tranquility but also access to local amenities such as independent cafes, shops, and reputable schools including Reading Boys' Grammar School and Kendrick Girls' Grammar School. Excellent transport links via the M4 and A329M motorways enhance its appeal for commuters.
