Constructed in the 1920s, this semi-detached house showcases charming period features that appeal to those seeking a unique family home in East Reading. The property boasts original details such as decorative window coving and beautiful fireplaces, which are increasingly rare in contemporary homes. The current owners have diligently preserved the character of the property, notably ensuring the newly installed double-glazed windows matched the original design in consultation with their neighbours.
The front drive accommodates parking for two vehicles, complemented by a quaint covered porch. A useful lean-to adds convenient storage and provides access to the rear garden.
Inside, a welcoming entrance hall introduces two reception rooms. The front living room, enhanced by a fireplace and an ornate bay window, offers a cozy retreat. The second reception room features an Art Deco-style fireplace and could serve various purposes, such as a study or playroom. A ground floor WC adds practicality.
At the rear, you will find a spacious kitchen/diner with patio doors leading to a non-overlooked east-facing garden designed for low maintenance. There exists great potential for extending the ground floor (subject to planning) or reconfiguring the kitchen space into an open-plan area connected to the second reception room – modifications which would benefit from professional assessment due to structural considerations involving the chimney breast.
The first floor consists of three generously sized double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom, all benefiting from high ceilings and fireplaces. Notably, the main bedroom at the front enjoys dual-aspect windows offering an airy atmosphere. The top floor accommodates a fourth bedroom, previously utilized as a servant's room but now ideal as an office or guest accommodation with pleasant rooftop views.
This property not only boasts original charm but also presents numerous opportunities for increasing value through renovations and extensions.
