Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached house, available for the first time since its construction in 1971, presents an exciting opportunity for modernisation and reconfiguration. Nestled within a quiet cul-de-sac, the property boasts generous living spaces and significant potential for extension, subject to necessary consents. The ground floor features a versatile layout, highlighted by a large kitchen and breakfast room that connects seamlessly to both the living and dining rooms. This thoughtful design allows for individual character while maintaining connectivity. A covered side passage offers additional space for appliances and could be transformed into a utility area. Upstairs, the home comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with an adjoining walk-in wardrobe that could be converted into an en-suite. The family bathroom is spacious and may also lend itself to reconfiguration. The property includes an integral garage alongside a substantial detached garage and workshop, providing ample storage and potential for conversion into additional living space or a home office. Set on a generous plot, the exterior features a broad rear garden and extensive driveway parking. The location is convenient, with Prospect Park nearby, schools within walking distance, and easy access to Reading town centre and the M4 motorway. This home is perfectly livable as it stands but offers a unique chance to reshape it into a bespoke family residence. Offered with no onward chain.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom detached home, on the market for the first time since its construction in 1971, presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to acquire a property with significant potential for modernisation. Priced at £650,000, the asking price of £305/sqf is notably below the local average of £381/sqf, making this an attractive proposition for buyers wanting to invest in a renovation project.

While the interior shows signs of dated decor and furnishings throughout, the spacious layout and generous accommodation offer a solid foundation for reconfiguration or updates. The large family bathroom and expansive kitchen are prime candidates for renovation, and with four sizeable bedrooms, including a principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe, the home can be tailored to suit contemporary family living. The exterior is in good condition, complemented by a broad rear garden and ample parking, ensuring that this property not only has the space but also the potential for a bespoke long-term residence in a convenient location.
