Description

This classic three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this property has been well-maintained since its construction by Cooks in 1958, yet it offers significant potential for modernization and improvement. Spanning two floors, the layout includes an inviting entrance hall that leads into a bay-fronted living room, a separate dining area, and a kitchen with a lean-to extension. The first floor accommodates three generously-sized bedrooms alongside a family bathroom. While the interiors showcase the charm of the era, they are ripe for updates to align with contemporary styles and preferences. The outdoor space enhances the property's appeal, featuring a spacious rear garden complete with a patio ideal for gatherings and leisure activities. Mature borders add privacy and greenery, fostering a tranquil environment. Off-road parking is available at the front of the house, along with side access leading to the garden and an attached garage—a valuable asset in terms of storage or potential conversion. Located in Southcote, Reading, this home benefits from its proximity to essential amenities, including reputable schools such as Manor Primary School and King’s Academy Prospect. Healthcare facilities are also conveniently close, ensuring easy access to medical services. The nearby Reading Green Park Station offers direct routes to both Reading and Basingstoke, while major road networks via the A33 and M4 facilitate commuting options. With Reading Town Centre and The Oracle Shopping Centre just a short drive away, residents can enjoy urban conveniences alongside green spaces like Prospect Park for recreational activities. This property not only promises comfortable living but also represents an attractive investment prospect; whether through renovations that could significantly increase its value or as a rental opportunity in this well-connected area.
