Description

This characterful semi-detached house presents an exciting opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to create a personalized living space. Nestled on a sought-after tree-lined road, it features a spacious 70' rear garden and is located just two miles from the vibrant Reading Town Centre. The property is being sold with no onward chain, making for a straightforward acquisition process. Within the desirable 'Wilson Primary' school catchment area, this home is also conveniently close to various amenities including parks, shops, gyms, and restaurants. The interior offers a wealth of potential, requiring updating throughout but retaining some charming original characteristics. The entrance leads into a hallway with stairs to the upper floor and access to three versatile reception rooms. These include a lounge with a bay window and fireplace, a dining room that overlooks the garden, and a breakfast room connected to the kitchen at the back. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms serviced by a side-facing bathroom. The extensive rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with established shrubs and includes an outdoor W.C., providing an ideal space for expansion or landscaping once refurbished.
