Description

This 4-bedroom detached chalet-style house, built in the early 1960s, presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and expansion, subject to the usual planning permissions. Nestled in a desirable close within a village setting, the property is being offered for sale for the first time in over three decades. It features a generous south-facing garden plot that could be transformed with landscaping or even an extension to enhance living space significantly. The home boasts a spacious L-shaped sitting room with access through sliding doors to the rear garden, allowing for potential modern redesign. The kitchen, equipped with basic wall and base cabinets and a breakfast bar peninsular unit, is ready for updates to create a contemporary culinary space. A separate dining room also opens to the garden, enhancing indoor-outdoor connectivity. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor along with a shower room featuring a modern suite. The upstairs includes two more bedrooms with built-in storage and another bathroom that could benefit from modernization. Complementing the living areas is an attached double-length garage which adds to its practicality. The exterior offers potential as well—front gardens laid to lawn with gravel paths provide options for storage solutions, while the well-maintained rear garden presents an ideal setting for future enhancements or relaxation in its southern aspect. Situated near amenities including schools, public houses, and local shops in Pangbourne village and only seven miles from Reading's vibrant town centre with excellent transport links to London Paddington, this property is ripe for investment and makes an ideal project for those looking to create their dream home.
