Description

This four-bedroom detached family residence is situated at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac in the desirable village of Shinfield, presenting an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen/breakfast room measuring 23'5 x 11'7, alongside a separate utility room that offers great potential for modern updates. A comfortable reception area and a study that could easily serve as a home office create versatile living spaces, complemented by an integral garage with internal access.

On the first floor, the home boasts four double bedrooms, including an expansive principal suite at 23'3 x 12'9. Two additional generously sized doubles and a fourth smaller bedroom, suitable as a nursery or single room, share access to both a family bathroom and a separate shower room. There is ample opportunity to enhance these areas to add significant value.

Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking beside the garage and offers a private rear garden, benefiting from its quiet location within the cul-de-sac. Shinfield village provides essential amenities such as pubs, shops, schools, and recreational grounds right on your doorstep. With well-regarded primary schools nearby and The Holt School — rated Outstanding — for secondary education, it caters well to families. Transport links are convenient, with the M4 just moments away and Reading town centre only about 15 minutes by car; London Paddington can be reached in under 30 minutes by train from Reading station.

This property represents not just a home, but also an opportunity to create something exceptional through thoughtful renovations.
