Description

This is a rare chance to acquire a distinguished Edwardian home, constructed in 1905, situated on one of the University’s most sought-after roads. While this property showcases charming Art Nouveau elements, it requires a comprehensive modernization effort, offering a blank canvas for those with vision. With an EPC Rating of G, it holds substantial potential for transformation into a contemporary family residence. The surrounding area is known for its historic charm and proximity to Reading University, providing access to various local amenities including independent cafes and schools. Features include an elegant entrance hall leading to two reception rooms with original fireplaces and a galley kitchen/breakfast room with pantry. The upper floor includes four bedrooms, one with access to a west-facing balcony, alongside a bathroom and separate WC. Outside, the property boasts driveway parking and a generously sized south-east facing garden equipped with outbuildings and garden facilities. This home represents an enticing renovation opportunity amidst a vibrant community.
