This charming semi-detached home, built in the 1920s, showcases a wealth of original features that enhance its character and appeal. Situated in East Reading, this property offers substantial potential for renovation or extension, perfect for those looking to create their ideal family residence. The exterior presents strong kerb appeal with decorative coving and period fireplaces that are hard to find in newer constructions.
The owners have preserved its historical essence while making thoughtful updates, including custom double-glazed windows that replicate the original designs. The driveway accommodates two vehicles and is complemented by an inviting porch. Inside, the entrance hallway leads to two versatile reception rooms: a cosy living area with a bay window and an Art Deco-style fireplace, along with a second room suitable as a study or playroom. A convenient ground-floor WC is discreetly located under the stairs.
At the back of the home, the spacious kitchen/diner benefits from ample natural light through patio doors that open onto a low-maintenance east-facing garden. There is significant potential for enhancing this space through extensions (subject to planning permission) or by reconfiguring the layout for modern living. This could involve creating an open-plan feel by connecting the kitchen/diner with the second reception room, although structural evaluation would be necessary due to the chimney breast's placement.
The first floor contains three generously-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all boasting striking ceiling heights and charming fireplaces. The main bedroom stands out with dual-aspect windows allowing plenty of light. On the top floor, a fourth bedroom originally designed for staff now serves as an excellent office or guest accommodation with picturesque rooftop views.
This property not only has beautiful original features but also boasts strong investment potential in a desirable location near various local amenities and recreational spaces.
