Description

This 1930s bay-fronted residence is nestled in a desirable cul-de-sac, conveniently located near Reading University and Leighton Park School. Just a short distance from Reading town centre, this property is approximately 2 miles from the mainline railway station and 1.7 miles from The Oracle shopping centre. The home requires comprehensive modernisation, providing a remarkable opportunity for investors or buyers who wish to redesign it to their tastes. It comes with no onward chain and offers significant potential due to its structure and location. The EPC rating is F, indicating that improvements in energy efficiency will be beneficial. The surrounding area features a rich history and beautiful conservation zones. With an array of independent cafes, shops, and recreational facilities nearby, the neighbourhood boasts excellent amenities. Access to major motorways like the M4 and A329M makes commuting straightforward. Accommodation includes an entrance hall leading to two reception rooms, a kitchen, a spacious lean-to, and access to a garage which requires attention—particularly since the roof may contain asbestos. Upstairs consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, there is off-road parking available on the driveway alongside a mature garden at the rear—an attractive space that could be revitalised. This property represents not just a home but also a canvas for renovation enthusiasts looking to invest in an expanding area with solid local amenities.
